Yeah like I said in my original comment, if you don't do anything serious with audio then it doesn't matter. However if you do, then it matters and BT just simply isn't good enough.

Apple themselves even admit this. If you open up Logic on iPad (a digital audio workstation made by apple) it warns you that using Bluetooth is going to suck.

Edit: Also worth pointing out my original comment isn't about analog headphones jacks Vs Bluetooth it's about wired vs Bluetooth. USB C is fine in terms of the complaints I'm making about BT.

My main question is why you think you'll need low latency for audio production on a phone.

[โ€“] vala@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This is a confusing question.

You need low latency to produce music on any device.

My comment was about producing it on a phone, if you're trying to produce music why are you using a phone? Why is it a concern?

[โ€“] vala@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't think many people are making the next top 40 single with nothing but a phone.

That being said there are plenty of high quality music making apps on phones and tablets. Apple's Logic Pro and Koala Sampler come to mind. Even if it won't handle the full production, is a great way to get started when inspiration hits.

There is also an entire class of synthesizer / modeller that can ONLY really be played on a touchscreen (see GeoShred).

It's also (IMO) a bit gatekeepy to suggest that good music can't be made on the simplest of equipment. There are so many absolutely fire tracks that have been made on nothing but a pirated copy of FL studio and a school laptop. Before that it was a tape recorder in the bathroom.

Oh I'm not gatekeeping, I don't care what you make music on, it just seems like a very niche group that would have that specific concern. The latency has gotten a lot better in the past 10 years or so though.
