Umm, because I can't hear any latency while tracking? I haven't measured it, but this isn't anything new. Just look at the specs of the product and you'll see... There is a 1024 samples latency option for less CPU usage though...

Interesting. Was indeed not aware of that. Magic world of science and technological progress!

BTW: I just found out that Altiverb also offers zero-latency! Seems to be the standard for quite some time now... I haven't used convolution since my Wizooverb days and the latency back then was already minimal, so this doesn't really blow my socks off...

altiverb offers zero latency monitoring at a cost of up to 60% CPU on mono tracks according to Sound on Sound magazine. They were not able to run 2 instances of it in stereo without CPU meltdown.

They found the best performance using it at 16000 plus samples of latency when mixing.

Ok, now it gets embarrassing for Robert: Even Wizooverb was already latency-free back then!!! :lol:

That's heavy, but of course it depends on many factors how it will affect CPU consumption. Wizooverb and SIR2 are quite CPU efficient (for convolution reverbs) though, even on slower machines...
