Hey all,
I have a question about zero latency montering via the blend knob (mbox style) and routing software (Saffire mix control).
If I'm recording at 48k with a HW buffer of 256, I'll have a delay of X milliseconds. As soon as I click play or record I'm hearing X delay. So when I send the headphone mix the artist he is gonna get X delay no matter what.
If the idea that by using the zero latency they're hearing themselves right away, aren't they already playing against x delay any way? Making the timing off by X.
Or is it that by not having zero latency the artist is hearing a 2 X delay?
I know that at 256 the delay isn't too bad and I've never had real issues but its more of a principal question.
Thanks
