## Source excerpt

when Billy Joel was on the Jimmy Falon show and they used the iPad app "Looper", i immediately looked for the android equivalent. there wasn't one. i'm an android developer and a sound engineer (enthusiast) so obviously the right thing to do, was build one... i spent about two weeks and then gave up on the project cause it demanded far more time than i initially anticipated. the linked article is a fantastic read and summary on the problems with audio latency in android (and why i eventually just gave up on that project).
