ASIO support #272

Open ghost opened 3 years ago

ghost commented 3 years ago

Will you support ASIO in the future? I connect MIDI interface and audio latency is very high from my keypress. 100-200 ms latency is unacceptable for realtime midi recording/performing. Having ASIO support can reduce the latency down to 5-10ms like other DAW.

Seems like the ASIO drivers are proprietary; as such, they're incompatible with the open-source licensing model of ONBS. Audacity suffers from the same issue — see: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/asio_audio_interface.html https://www.steinberg.net/developers/

If we do support ASIO in the future, users will likely be required to build NBS from source themselves, which is unfortunate, but better than nothing.
