Unrecognized diSturbing Bus: USB kills audio
Meanwhile USB, the Universal Serial Bus, has become widely recognized and
used, even in the professional area. With Windows
98 SE and Windows 2000 two major operating systems offer ease of use and
full Plug and Play for any USB device. The number
of MIDI interfaces using USB grows every day. But it seems that some
manufacturers have overlooked a major disadvantage of
USB for some time: USB can degrade the performance of other devices,
especially when working at lowest latency.
This makes working on a professional level at low latency with audio-/MIDI
sequencer impossible. This Tech Info gives some
background information about the effect and how to avoid it.  more INFO:
