Default Re: Latency depends on CPU power?

Latency:
The latency is always the same from the moment you choose the number of data to be buffered. Latency on PTLE goes from 128 to 1024 samples. 128 isn't noticable and the 1024 got about one sec delay.
The CPU itself doesn't change the latency as it got free resources.
PTLE is like outboardfx+mixers.
The EFFECTs (Inserts) is in process mode all the even not in p/b. They consume a bit less CPU but they do consume when not in P/B.
With a 1.1Ghz you'll have enough horse power to keep low latency (you'll won't hear it and you should forget to console monitoring unless you like me want to amplify the signal being monitored (I do that for singers when I don't want to audio to be record in such high level but I do want them to hear themselves).
Higher CPU enables more plugins and quicker system response.
