As a web developer, learning music and audio programming makes my mind melt.
We often say "real time" when we mean "fast." But in audio real time means "really fast,
all the time" and somewhat deterministically.
If your tempo drifts, then you're not going to hear the rhythm correctly. If you have
a bit of latency on your instrument, it's like turning on a delay pedal where the only
signal coming through is the delay.
One might assume if you just follow audio programming guides then you can do all this, but
you still need to have your system setup to handle real time audio, in addition to your program.

It's all noticeable.
