Re: R: opinions on analog - USB converters

>From what I've heard, USB is a buffered interface which means 
you cannot predict the latency very well.  This doesn't matter
for many uses but for MIDI and other real-timing-critical
applications it is not the best choice.

Firewire, on the other hand is promising if only the equipment
manufacturers would get started.  Perhaps they are already working
on the next crop of mouth-watering interfaces.
