Though the unfortunate thing is that there isn't really a better way to do whatever an FFT is trying to do better. Say you wanna differentiate between 140 and 150 hz. In an ideal scenario that should only take one wave cycle each, which is 7.142 and 6.667 miliseconds. Our ears can do that because they have physical structures that pick up specific frequencies. But to do it computationally you basically need to tell the 10 hz difference between them, which spans a timeframe of 100 miliseconds.

    It's probably possible to computationally determine exact pitches from only one wave cycle but I can't see that being anything less than extremely expensive computationally even with modern hardware.
