![]() No, I meant less than 1 ms of latency, but that's going through the DSP mixer in the interface. But be sure you understand what you're getting (and not). If you want better performance, spend more money. The Mackie i series mixers give you true analog monitoring for less than 0.01 ms latency when tracking. I've been using a 256 sample buffer on a Pentium 4 running Windows XP. And you can run with a 1024 sample buffer if that's what it takes to get rid of the rude noises and mutes. ![]() I have a Focusrite Saffire Liquid 56 here now, and its monitor latency is about 0.7 ms at 44.1 kHz and around 0.3 ms at 96 kHz. It's not as good a an analog input monitoring path, but it's close. Your input monitoring is through a DSP mixer built into the interface. Pro Tools HD does it because you don't hear what comes back from the computer except for the cue track and when you're mixing. Honestly, I don't think that with gear at the price point that people are complaining about it's possible to get good recording and good real time monitoring. There are ways to get around it or deal with it. I don't see what the big deal about low latency is anyway. USB, particularly USB 1.1, may have more latency when you're monitoring through the computer, but at least it records and plays back and doesn't usually snap, crackle, and pop. there's nothing like a good Ampex MM-1200 when you want everything to work right.
