I've used it before for realtime-uses (not production though where you'd need 100% guarantees for no drop-outs), latency has not been an issue. I think you essentially get the latency of the plugins you're using since this is a JUCE wrapper.

Ultimately it depends on how much work you do and how efficient an audio thread you built. pedalboard is not a library which does audio playback itself, it just effects buffers you give it. I used python-sounddevice, which are bindings for PortAudio - if you don't use much CPU you can comfortably run plugins in realtime.

Obviously you're still beholden to the GIL in Python (until further notice) so if worse comes to worst you might experience the unlucky dropout.

Ah that's really interesting, thank you!
