you say "card"... I am on a MacBook Pro 2112 (thunderbolt/FW800 model) no PCIe here! I have looked at the MOTU 828 Mk3... would get the Apollo but its over 2 grand! and more than I need right now! At this point I had better come clean and mention I own and run my own residential studio and have been in recording land for far too long! Would be great if I could put my protools Mix5 rig in my pocket as I would certainly get zero latency with that! I am just amazed that something so simple in these modern times is still beyond the Lap top!... or am I jumping guns here??!!... I hope the TC-helicon VoiceLIve3 is out soon! Going back to what Reiner kindly posted to me about the issues mainly being within the software drivers: this I am not too familiar with. The MacBook Pro I have is the latest model with 16GIG of RAM ! I am not running any other programs other than Ableton on it and within Ableto I literally have just the one audio track up and armed to the Looper plugin within it. Thats it!... >---- Original Message ---- >From: Daniel Thomas <danielthomas4@mac.com> >To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com >Sent: Tue, Feb 19, 2013, 5:41 PM >Subject: Re: Latency in looping path > >You ned a low latency sound card for this work.
