Hmm.. I guess you have absolutely no idea how higher latency on Android does not have much effect on apps like drum machine or anything that is sequenced.
Sure low latency is better for live instruments play (like SynthX), but it works very well for drum machines and other sequencers.
How much music came out of the tracker scene? pretty much all that music was composed with machines with pretty bad latency to say the least. Arguably that entire form arose in part due to those constraints.
Android indeed has a ways to go. I want to see lower latency devices and apps too. But real artists find a way to make use of constraints.
@anon may not be your cup of tea, but a lot of people still love it. Particularly the expert stuff like necros, five musicians, purple motion, dr. awesome, etc. To be honest, it's not really my favorite genre, but I have to admit, it pulled a unique, different aesthetic out of the limitations of the period which remain influential.
All music is tied to a time and place, particularly technology-centric music. I'm sure a lot of the ios music now will sound dated in its own way, with or without latency.
That doesn't mean that it can't be meaningful or good, people just need to stop speaking in absolutes about what the necessary conditions for art to occur.
Screaming brats in the first one, a dorky pathetic father in the second, and an obnoxious boss shouting, "you're fired!” in the last. All quite unpleasant in their sound and imagery.
Naturally, each 30 second clip of this triptych represents speed, thinness, and lightness respectively, since there are no apps to speak of. Ouch.
"Yes, but overall, Android is 2Crappy2BeTakenSeriously for music creation."
Just like IOS that cannot have a real DAW or VST/AU hosts and is limited to sandboxing apps. Look around, there really isn't that much people praising IOS as a professional tool, except here :)

yeah...but...android...!
My girlfriend picked up a galaxy tab for pretty cheap (~400$). Nanoloop runs beautifully on it!
Lol, that is pretty much all there is and will be for Android Honeycomb platform - it is a joke for music apps - latency anyone..?!
"latency anyone..?!"

cool you press play and sometime later it starts playing something :/
Yes, but overall, Android is 2Crappy2BeTakenSeriously for music creation. :)
it also means no sync by ear ;)
excuses excuses, people.

...instead of complaining about them.
you do it first then :)
how much of that tracker music did stand the test of time ( doesnt sound dated now )?

Man, those commercials stink!

Hmm.. I guess you have absolutely no idea that trackers are similar to samplers. They both use sound samples in a sequenced environment.
So how much of that sampled music do you believe stood the test of time?

Sorry to burst your bubble.
