the pres/converters are very good, the latency is low (down to 1-2ms) and it has plenty of i/o (balanced analog, spdif, adat, midi, inserts).
In this scenario, where does latency come into play? Does that mean after hitting "record," there's a delay of 1-2ms? Or that there's a continuous lag between channels - for instance, if I lay down a drum track, then go back and lay down a guitar track exactly timed with the drums, it'll be out of time?

This confuzzles me.
