Jessie G,
What kind of latencies do you get with the Octa Capture? 5 - 6 ms? 64 samples?

Jbraner,
 
Under "Driver Settings" in Preferences.
 
Buffer Size = Fast  4.8 msec 256 samples
Input : 5.9 msec, 304 samples
Output: 11.6 msec, 611 samples
 
Round Trip 17. 5 msec,   915 samples
 
Using ASIO
 
Peace,
 
Jesse G

Thanks a million for that Jesse!
 
I play guitar in to amp sims - so the round trip latency is really important. I'm looking to move to a USB card, but "Round Trip 17. 5 msec," is a bit high.
 
RME Fireface UC and MOTU Ultralite AVB are still at the top of my list ;-)

If it weren't for the fact the m-audio quit supporting it, I would have recommended the Profire. At 64 samples, RTL is 5.8ms @ 64 byte buffer and 48K sampling.
 
I would like to measure this directly instead of relying on what the ASIO driver is reporting but I need to find a way to do that.
 
I am looking at the Roland units as well since m-audio dropped support for the Profire 610. I emailed Roland to see if they will support the Quad and Octa capture in Windows 10. I will report back if/when they respond. I am a little concerned as these are not new units and I am already am dealing with end of support issues with the Profire.

thansk maximum - I'm gonna start another thread soon, but I think it's going to be down to the MOTU or RME for those kind of latencies...

I look forward to reading that thread.
 
Are you going with one of those two because of their reputation for low latency?
 
Thanks

The Steinberg UR-44 is a new (relatively low cost) audio interface that offers good fidelity and low round-trip latency.

 If you have a local Guitar Center these were on sale for $119.

In 2014 ? :o)
Doesn't help today...

 $119 went i went into a GC  last Friday, May 29, 2015.

Yes, but you are answering to posts that are over a year old.
I think the guys have their new gear bought long time ago.

I've never had a flicker of interest when I post my recommendation. I have four audio interfaces. Two Focusrite, the Profire 2626, and the Line 6 KB-37. For the purpose of capturing vocals with a no latency experience, or capturing fully effected guitars with no latency the Line 6 KB-37 is the runaway winner. So much so that I use it exclusively for recording those parts. I use the Focusrite for general audio and mixing purposes.

I recognize the KB-37 is dated technology now. But line 6 had special sauce with audio in this model, and it is still purchaseable.

A couple bits on it.

Using these regularly, I'm very convinced the KB-37 provides an ideal experience.

Yeah - I really don't like the latency when playing my guitar through ampsims. 4.9ms RT would be heaven, 7-8 ms is fine but higher than that is geting noticable (you can hear the "acoustic" sound of the string being hit - and it doesn't match with the sound coming through the headphones.)
 
I work at these latencies with my PCI card - so I'd like to try to stick with the same latencies...
