BUT maybe I want to record something at that low latency buffer setting. What happened to the separate input buffer? It's your first statement "Increasing the input buffer size still helps reduce the load on/latency sensitivity on the overall system" that I want an explanation for. Under what circumstances does it do that? It's not supposed to. It's supposed to be for the input buffer only. I appreciate the practical suggestion--I'd also like to know what's really happening.

So again, just try things. In the other thread I've also asked you questions about your setup. If you are getting IO related problems you need to carefylly check optimizations and all your IO setup. And your are on an old Mac Pro with SATA II/3 Gbit/s IO, so very slow compared to a modern Mac (or MacBook Pro). If latency questions are bothering you, just start measuring stuff. You can set up a click track and route that via multiple internal buses/aux/tracks etc. and see the effect of different routing topologies. Just disable delay compensation while doing this. You can send that click out your interface and split it and bring it back into two (or more) channels and route them differently and measure there differences, try changing IO buffer sizes, inserting plugins on tracks, etc. and see the effects. You can share/split one input to multiple Tracks/Aux's in Pro Tools no need to physically split a cable. Show a sample ruler makes things easier to think about, and and put the Main Counter in sample display mode .. then you can just drag out a selection between two points in the edit window and read the time difference in samples in the counter display "Length". Start with a large/obvious buffer size like 512 samples, that is also different that the 1024 or 2048 sample possible values of the output buffer. |

Re: I need some clarification about recording with plugins and low latency.
Just a question related to the latency in record mode; without any plug-ins I was still getting a small delay while tracking vocals. So I switched the buffer size to 512 instead of 1024. Would this have any impact on my overall mixing with all the plg-ins / while bouncing to a stereo track output?
Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks, Hanif |

I need some clarification about recording with plugins and low latency.
I do not understand what/why you are asking exactly.
1024 and 512 are both large buffer sizes to track at and will have noticeable delay. You know the sample rate and can calculate that latency. Are you talking actual real time latency or ADC not working properly. And presumably you are monitoring through Pro Tools or are you using LLM? You usually set a small buffer size while tracking for low latency and then set a large size while mixing, for more stability/capacity. I have no idea why you are asking about the buffer size used for tracking affecting mixing. |
