Mega Drone
|
||
|
|
==========
|
||
|
|
Ever wondered what 100 square waves sound like when played together? Well now you can find out!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mega Drone is an app which creates 100 oscillators, combines their output in a mixer and plays the resulting sound.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This sample demonstrates how to obtain the lowest latency and optimal computational throughput by:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1) Leaving Oboe to choose the best default stream properties for the current device
|
||
|
|
2) Setting performance mode to LowLatency
|
||
|
|
3) Setting sharing mode to Exclusive
|
||
|
|
4) Setting the buffer size to 2 bursts
|
||
|
|
5) Using the `-Ofast` compiler optimization flag, even when building the `Debug` variant
|
||
|
|
6) Using [`getExclusiveCores`](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Process#getExclusiveCores()) (API 24+) and thread affinity to bind the audio thread to the best available CPU core(s)
|
||
|
|
7) Using a `StabilizedCallback` which aims to spend a fixed percentage of the callback time to avoid CPU frequency scaling ([video explanation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0BPXZIvG-Q&feature=youtu.be&t=1158))

This code was presented at [AES Milan](http://www.aes.org/events/144/) and [Droidcon Berlin](https://www.de.droidcon.com/) as part of a talk on Oboe.

The [following article explaining how to debug CPU performance problems](https://medium.com/@donturner/debugging-audio-glitches-on-android-ed10782f9c64) may also be useful when looking at this code.

Implementation details
|
||
|
|
---
|
||
|
|
The stream properties are left to Oboe as such the app must output audio data in a format which matches that of the stream.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Four different formats are supported:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|Channel count|Format|
|
||
|
|
|-------------|------|
|
||
|
|
|1 - Mono|16-bit int|
|
||
|
|
|2 - Stereo|16-bit int|
|
||
|
|
|1 - Mono|Float|
|
||
|
|
|1 - Stereo|Float|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The signal chain for mono streams is:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Oscillators->Mixer
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For stereo chains a mono to stereo converter is added to the end of the chain:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Oscillators->Mixer->MonoToStereo
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The compiler optimization flag `-Ofast` can be found in [CMakeLists.txt](CMakeLists.txt).
