It all depends on the type of live processing you employ with AudioUnits! You
would want to use Measurement Mode if you want low latency by lowering the
AVAudioSession’s Buffer Duration. Note that Measurement mode will remove AGC
and Equalisation to achieve low-latency. So if you record audio, you need to
take that into account.
I would also recommend double checking all the Stream Formats in your AudioUnit
chain.
If you are getting continuous glitches it might be that your custom DSP is not
delivering before the main audio thread cycle. But I’d be surprised if that’s
the case since “iPad Pro 3rd gen” should naturally improve performance with
regards to prior devices I would assume!
