Partly. I mean when you have an audio signal that runs into the soundcard, through jackd and the audio apps, and out again through the audio card. For example if you have a vocalist singing into a microphone to a track that's already been recorded. The vocalist will then hear a delay between what she or he sings and what she or he hears in the headphones. Which some people find very distracting. In the above case you'd want to go for the lowest latency your system can handle. Otherwise using high latency setting for jack would get rid of the clicks and pops. bye John _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
