Depends on what you want to do... As long as the latency is *constant* (as in, no granularity for MIDI events), a few ms more or less is no big deal. Use headphones instead of near field monitors, and you cut some 3 ms right there...! If you're trying to route the monitor sound for a vocalist through the computer, latency might be more critical. It feels pretty weird if the monitor sound is significantly delayed, but I'm not sure exactly how much one can tolerate. //David Olofson - Programmer, Composer, Open Source Advocate .------- http://olofson.net - Games, SDL examples -------. | http://zeespace.net - 2.5D rendering engine | | http://audiality.org - Music/audio engine | | http://eel.olofson.net - Real time scripting | '-- http://www.reologica.se - Rheology instrumentation --' _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
