Hi Monk,
I'm currently using an edirol m100 fx sound card
cum mixer as my input/output. I'm getting 3.2ms with a buffer size of 144
running audiomulch with delay, reverb and filter vsts.as well as simple mixers
and a loop player for drum loops etc. My basic sound comes from either the zoom
g2.1u, (still havent taken it back to college) or the 8080 functions which i can
just about run alongside the midi capabilities of same - It's a bit complex and
more than a little idiosyncratic....
I'm dithering between fcb1010 and my old sub aqua
zoom 8080. The 8080 is smaller and i like the cc pedals on either side of the
unit - i see my loops as right and left loops this way.

Subject: latency questions
can you give me an idea of what software and hardware interface
you are using on a laptop that is that quick? you must have the buffer set
really low, and if so, how many complicated plug ins can you run? and (forgive
the multitude of questions) are you using the software in a mixer as an AUX or
is your sound going thru the computer (more like an insert...)
i recently tried ableton live 5.01 on a friends G4 laptop (1GH, i think)
with an m-audio firewire interface and the latency was in the 15-35 range, i'd
guess. it was not in the acceptable for me range.
thanks

20ms is no longer typical - laving aside the non- realtime os
discussion of a few weeks ago 3-6ms is very achievable
on today's systems as well as impeccable sound quality. These figures
are very acceptable to me. I love looking for and trying out
new vsts - it's fun! and I particularly like being able to add, say a
compressor without adding any weight to my rig.
A word of warning though - try not to use your laptop on the net -
there's so much crap out there - keep it clean and
minimal..
