Hi Michael,

The MBox 2 you have cna do zero latency monitoring, it splits the signal coming into your input and sends a copy straight to the monitor outs. Of course you can't add a reverb or whatever to that.

One the 002/003 this doesn't exist, however they have an option inside Pro Tools called "low latency monitoring" where any armed audio track gets routed straight from the AD converted input channel to the output channels, so instead of getting whatever latency is normally there ( depends on your buffer setting) you get almost no latency at all. When this is turned on, if you have any plugins on the tracks set to record, they're diisabled.

So same diff really, just a differrnt way of achieving the same final result.

If I (using a 003) want to say add a little reverb to my monitor mix (eg for some vox) I set up a verb as a send and feed my vocal channel into that, that way turning on low latency monitoring doesn't kill the verb. Yeah there's some latency in there but it's just a little pre-delay effectively, so it's fine.

Cheers,

Simon

I never get a latency complaint at buffer 64.

Yeah with an 002/3 device the latency is more dependent on your computer than the interface itself, unless in "low latency" mode. Which cancels and plugs you have on the track. So really if you wanna track with plugs at low latency settings you'll need a bigger computer. In other words a Mac Pro should do well. Now it's up to you to decide which Mac Pro to get.
