Unclear settings. #32

The application doesnt make it clear enough what the difference is between responsiveness and low latency. They seem like roughly the same thing. Maybe changing the names to something more understandable would be a good idea? ( I am still confused for one, because in the readme, you dont explain what the responsiveness option does, only latency)

tildearrow commented 5 years ago

I don't know what to change it to, though... By "Responsiveness" I mean as in added latency to eliminate stutter (especially in low-end systems), but "Favor lack of stuttering" sounds unusual.

@tildearrow

Two ideas:

Favor stutter elimination

Favor stutter masking

qwertychouskie commented 5 years ago

Maybe have "Less stutter" on one end and "Less latency" on the other.

tildearrow commented 5 years ago

Finished. v5.16.3-2 coming soon with changes applied. New menu:

Less stutter
Balanced
Lower latency
Even lower latency

Thanks for pointing out!
