NEVER on any system have i seen a Makie anything get anything called low lantecy.

i know they have recently improved their drivers but strill now where as good as what i listed.

i can go to 64buffer on an RME, lucky to get 256 with mackie.

e.

well,- on my system the mackie works at lower latencies (which in real world terms are lower) than my RME used to.

Same Firewire controller card, same computer.

Dunno what else to say *shrug*

10ms is just about useable on the mackie,- on the fireface 10ms felt like alot of latency.

and like you say,- the fireface will go to 64 buffer,- but in fact the fireface isn't running at 64samples,- it's adding more latency on top - which the mackie doesn't.

I'm not dissing the fireface here btw,- it's a great unit.


Kind Regards
