I use a Focusrite Scarlett 18i8. Even with my dated PC, my latency feels negligible to me. It's really, really short. Of course its a matter of taste as to what is acceptable.
The 18i8 has 4 combo 1/4" XLR's on the front. Sells for $350.
Edit:
Sonar reports 6 point something milliseconds for the latency of my Scarlett. I use 48KHz/24 with the ASIO driver.
I imagine it would be even faster on a newer system.
RE-Edit:
Okay, if the original poster is still interested...
I TOTALLY gave the wrong numbers for my Focusrite! (Sorry I'm still a nube!)
What Sonar atually says is:
Input- 6.3ms, 302 samples (ASIO drivers)
Output- 6.3ms, 302 samples (I have no idea what the samples have to do with anything, I would think MORE per second would be better???)
Total Roundtrip- 12.4ms, 604 Samples
Far cry from the low numbers everyone else is reporting. Just depends how much you have to spend, I guess.
Good Luck!
