I'm coming into this thread a bit late (behind on my email), but for anyone interested in why latencies below 20ms can matter in recording, take a nice digital delay -- I have a TC Electronics D-Two and a Symmetrix 606 -- and setup a stereo slapback echo with it for vocals. Set up a spread of about 10-20ms. Sounds nice, huh? Imagine how wonderful that can sound between your tracks when you're not even wanting it... :( Usually it's not so obvious when the material isn't just the same sound delayed, as it is between channels in a stereo delay, but it's still annoying. You're playing time domain tricks with your tracks that you hadn't even wanted. -- + Brent A.
