I made a small (like really small) piano in Javascript/HTML, but the sound is delayed. Is there any way to optimize its performance?

Thanks for your help!

var c = new Audio("https://dl.dropbox.com/u/37434025/PianoTones/piano_middle_C.mp3"); function playC() { var c2 = c.cloneNode(); c2.play(); } var d = new Audio("https://dl.dropbox.com/u/37434025/PianoTones/piano_D.mp3"); function playD() { var d2 = d.cloneNode(); d2.play(); }

    Gothdo is right. If you pre-clone the nodes, the only delay is the delay inside the sound data (which you'll also want to get rid of, it's a good fifth of a second long -- plenty long enough for a human to perceive). Commented Nov 5, 2016 at 12:00
  • Alright I'll try preloading the files. Thanks for your input, everybody. Commented Nov 5, 2016 at 12:01
