Crackles/pops on mobiles #210

Closed ghost closed 3 years ago

ghost commented 4 years ago

Hi, I was really delighted when found your app. It works fine on my PC (Chrome), but there crackles every few seconds when listening to it on mobile. I tested on iphone XR (Safari, also tried Chrome but it looks like that on iOS they have same engine) and Xiaomi Mi Max 3 (Chrome). Is it because of CPU overload, or there some other reasons? I have some experience in programming (including frontend), so you don't have to waste time simplifying the answer.

P.S. Anyway, thank you for such app

Hi @MentalBlood, thanks for sharing your experience. You're exactly right, the crackling and popping is due to high CPU usage. See https://github.com/generative-music/generative.fm/issues/206#issuecomment-639197135 for more details.

I'm actually going through the pieces one by one right now to reduce the CPU usage in as many as I can, but it will take some weeks to complete. I'll update here once that's done.

Hi again @MentalBlood. I wanted to let you know I just released v1.36.0 which should significantly reduce any audio issues like this.

I've received positive feedback that this issue was significantly improved with my changes, so I'm closing this. We can reopen if we need to.
