What's your Latency?

Kodama · Post by **Kodama** » Tue Jun 29, 2004 4:18 am

What sound card do you use, what is your bit rate/sample feq?

What OS are you using?

What's the lowest reliable in and out latecy you get?

Thanks!

15ms is comfy for me. tho sometimes i go to 20ms just to have that cushion. i used to use a windows machine and couldnt get below 24ms, crap ass drivers.. so i got used to the latency. i could probably go safely to 12ms, but i like the safety net.

G4 Pb 12" 867mhz/640mb Ram. stock coreaudio, OSX 10.3.4
16bit/44.1khz "high quality" samples in prefs turned on.

Anyway check the sig...

RME Multiface= 6ms

Is that total in/out latency?

vdrum · Post by **vdrum** » Tue Jun 29, 2004 3:22 pm

Total is around 9ms

OK I have a Tascam US-122 set to 24/48, on my Fujitsu I get 28ms total w/asio, which is still too much for vocals. On my iBook, it's more like 20ms.

I'm thinking about an Indigo IO or cheap FW interface. I wonder if one of these would lower the Latency considerably?

Not sure as I don't have my computer with me at work, but I think I remember seeing 5ms with 128 sample buffering (Echo Indigo DJ). Check sig for specs.

I think that is both in and out? Isn't that what the overall latency is?

"3ms + 2ms = 5ms"?

Will edit later when I get home if this is incorrect.

Using Echo's WDM Asio drivers ver. 6.1.0, I think?

Ya in+out = total latency.

Of course the in out numbers would be good also.

This should be maintainable with at least a little load and inputs producing audio without cracking up.

11ms total with an "old" aardvark 20/20+ in asio turbo mode ... great sound but no 96 khz

what's "turbo mode" ?

2 ms in 2ms out=4 ms total. system in signature at bottom. This is session view, 6 audio clip tracks, 5 tracks with FL rewired into each channel for drums. Works great live, I really don't feel/hear the latency, even when direct monitoring off the RME to help out my "deaf" guitarist. Loving it. we should use the Live perfomance test thread test on various systems
(use the arrangement demo song) and report minimum latency without crackles possible.
