First...thems some dern good readings there Bub, ol pal.  They really don't look "quite right". But hey, if you're gettin em...you're gettin em.

Second...I'm runnin 96 samples at 48k gettin 2ms straight and about 7 or 8ms round trip. I'm usin a MOTU audio express and can run at 64 samples but end up gettin glitches as I tend to sorta produce and mix on the fly most times.

PS...I'm too much of a dimbulb to know how to post my properties screen...or anything else for that matter.

LOL Bub, you got me with that! I'm looking and thinking...wait a minute, he's beating me too at 128?! How is that possible?! Hahahaha!

I got this other box of mine down pretty low, but like Jon said...there's really no need. I have an 18 track project up and as you can see, the cpu isn't too bad. If I pressed play, it would spike up just a little more than that. Quite a few plugs and drum modules in that project....so I don't think I could do much more before it would drop out or click and sputter, but it plays all the way through without a hiccup. It's nice to know, if I need low latency that I can do it on a card that was released in the 90's. :)

Hey Danni
I have an Echo Audiofire 2, love it, rock solid, but Echo units have large safety buffers unreported in Sonar. I use 128 samples and no probs playing in guitar sims in real time, but actual RTL is 12 - 15ms...look at TAFKAT's reports...

mgh, you can't get any lower on yours? I just got a new Audiofire 12 for the other studio and we were down to 64 without a problem.

Hmm, I wasn't aware of the safety buffers. That's interesting and quite cool to know, thanks!

5ms latency is just way too long for me. That's why I insist that the band stack all their amps in one big pile behind the drummer and we all stand in a tight circle, no more than 2 feet away from the bass drum. It gets pretty cozy when the horn section arrives. But we're thinking about getting a trio of cute girls to sing backup and having them sit on our laps.

(Not sure about that arrangement though, maybe the bass and drummer should have their own space while you stay in another with the girls?  I head that bass players have more latency too...)

Well I told my wife I'd just get three girl backup singers to sit on my lap and just move the
speakers closer.

She said, "with your luck they'll probably steal your speakers and it sounds like the only thing you have that works!".

I give up.

Every year or so, I ask my wife for some money to upgrade to the new version of Sonar. She always says, (kidding around of course) "Uh!, you wasting your money on that cake stuff that never works right? When are you going to learn?", and she walks away shaking her head at me and smiling.

Even my own wife picks on me because of Sonar.

Why do I keep putting up with this punishment?

Why do I keep putting up with this punishment?

Because ex-wives tend to come at you with sharp objects?
