omni/native latency vs mbox pro latency

[chrisdee]

Hi everyone.

I currently have the Mbox Pro wich has almost zero monitoring latency while tracking through the mixer.

I might get a deal on omni/native but have concerns regarding the latency on this system. I wonder if native has lower latency than the direct monitoring of the mbox, or if it also has the possebillity of direct monitoring ?

Iv grown accustomed to the direct monitoring of mbox pro and leave the buffer size at 1024. It would be bad if the latency is not better or atleast equal to the mbox pro direct monitoring.

Also i will have to track beside the omni because of my small room
so im wondering if the fan noise is still a problem.

Third, might this be a bad time getting the omni/native combo ?
