frankie c · 9th September 2007

Hi everyone!!,

I just built a q6600 quad Duo, 4 gigs RAM etc...
Running Cubase SX3 , 3 UAD-1 cards..

I do dance music with alot of LIVE instrumentation..(latency a lil issue)...

I have a original MBOX1 ....

this new computer has gotten the latency down OK...

BUT

can it be improved?

will buying a Focusrite saffire 26io

or a RME Fireface

Blow the MBOX 1 latency away?

is it really worth it?

RME fireface is great very fast and reliable. and you will get very low latency with the computer you have.
