Lowest H/W Buffer Size on Mac Pro with HDX ?
Hi guys,
I just bought an Mac Pro (late 2013) and was installing my HDX card into the MAGMA EB3T box. Running ProTools 2018.1 and going to the Playback engine, the lowest H/W Buffer size I can choose is 64 Samples. Is this correct ? Why no 32 Samples like my USB Scarlet 18i6 ? does it mean I have more latency ? Philippe M.

Re: Lowest H/W Buffer Size on Mac Pro with HDX ?
I would suggest a few threads to grasp what is happening here.

The buffer setting has no impact on latency on a DSP based system. Check out the threads that YYR123 has suggested.
