My system can do 1-2mS consistently, but the ONLY time I use it is when I'm tracking. Other than that I run at around 11 or even higher. Mixing/mastering and everything else is done up there. Real-time *latency* only makes a difference when we're doing something that *requires* real-time. Other than that I like Jack at higher latencies because it does a great job of making sure the music gets through to where it needs to be, on-time and not corrupted. 1mS latency for listening to a CD? Why? ;-) Cheers, Mark _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
