Round Trip Latency

 Hey everybody! I was wondering what kind of RTL people get with the V-Studio 100 around here. I bought one assuming it would be decent, but reading some of the posts here, I'm getting worried. Thanks for any info! R

My $279 delivered[cheap in Oz] N.I. KA 6 Interface is even MORE tank like,it's heavy!
And runs crazy lower latency[guitar sims anyone?] than the VS-100,like 32 samples,with plugin heavy tracks,when the VS/Sonar will NOT even open a project,untill up around 96[at the VERY least].

I think I might resell mine[if anyone will buy it]This:http://www.oblique-audio.com/ is an excellent tool for measuring TRUE Round Trip Latency,as all DAWS,Interfaces are slightly optimistic,in their readings,all of them!

The VS-100's USB 2.0 RTLatency is not good,but if you don't mind 12+ms Round Trip,at the VERY least,or SONAR will NOT open,let alone play cleanly,but when it does[188 samples!!],it's got better preamps,and possibly conversion than the KA 6,but so it should!

I think the main problem,is it was released when USB 2.0 was still kind of new,but even with a crazy cheap $162.50[AUD] pricetag,I'm dissapointed,with the 2008 RTLatency,even though it was made in late 2009.

Now,I have 2 [a USB 1.1 UA25-EX] Roland/cakewalk interfaces,that sound great,but perform very below average,when it comes to TODAY's standards,and all along I kept saying to myself-"but the RME Babyface,doesn't even have a sturdy body,to plug mic's into"uugggh 3 USB interfaces[including the only one that works properly[,and even with the cheap priced VS,all 3 add up to what I should have bought in the FIRST place.....lesson learned,but I love X2!

im not sure where your getting your so called facts from man,but there far from the truth.
first of all the vs 100 is not getting dropped,its still selling very well at 750.00.
it was only one or two sites doing a huge sale on these for 300.00-400.00.

plenty of people are using these and having great luck using them,ask anyone who owns one what they thnk of the so called round trip latencys your boasting about. 

i have the next step down from the vs 100 and i havent had a latency issue at all,i mean like never.
 
its obvious that your mad at cakewalk for something so your trying to sabatoge their sales.
where are you getting this info from that they are discontinuing the vs100 ?
maybe if you can show me and you can validate that your just not trolling another thread
 
because here your doing the same thing,trying to sell your N.I. KA 6 Interface  off to  other people.

im sorry but you sound redicules,
and yes it sounds like you need some sleep.

Well, I got the VS 100 today and installed it on my Dell 14R laptop...must say that I'm VERY pleased! Didn't realize it even has a crude reverb in the built-in mixer, so it can totally be running a live gig, with ins-outs independent of Ableton Live with verb/compressor/eq. I flashed the newest firmware and the RTL is pretty good actually, definitely fine for gigs, pre-amps sound good, and the Control Surface works GREAT! The straight to SD recorder is so flexible, allowing you to record channel 1 and 2 hard left and right, while monitoring a proper mix with effects: great for recording live 2 track gigs! I installed it on my main rig as a control surface only, which is excellent for motorized fades and remote control of the transport.......I'm very pleased!

Hi people,
Well guess what? Iv'e come back with "my tail between my legs",as I'm comfortably running,an admitedly "low track count",but "buckets of plugins"[Waves Q10 x10,Waves LL-3L,Melda Analyzer,VC76[N.I.]x10 etc]all at an "indicated" 9.1ms of Round Trip Latency,with 64 samples[ASIO] 24bit,48KHz,in X2 Pro,with no "breakfast noises" yet]pops/crackles]yaay!
Admittedly,none of the plugins,are particularly cpu intensive,but my overly negative attitude,toward the VS-100,is certainly "changing for the better",as I spend more time with it.

It also doesn't CONSTANTLY lose the USB connection,with the "sole,and only" USB 2.0 port,on this April 2011-i7 2630qm Dell XPS laptop,SO! annoyingly!,like the Native Instruments "bus powered" KA6 does[and I'm actually using the N.I. KA6's USB cable"with" the VS-100! too!].

Iv'e yet to get below an "indicated" 9.1ms RTLatency,but I'm willing[hoping!!]to bet that,I "just may be able to",with my "already aging" OC'ed 4.6GHz i7 2600k box,in the next few days[now the "ridiculous heat" we've had,has now turned to instant cold!...Australia,land of extremes!]

Anyway,if you can get one of "these babies" cheap,don't hesitate.
Cheers
Bob
