Digital Audio Interface
I was reading a post about latency in different audio interfaces and a user posted a report on various products. Now, obviously latency isn't everything, but it is a big deal. I'm not sure why the Scarletts are so popular. Check out his list of latency times (this was on a i7-950-based Windows 7 system at 44.1kHz/256 samples):
- RME fireface ufx (USB) - 13.625 ms
- MOTU PCIe-424 with 24I/O (PCIe) - 13.913
- RME fireface ufx (Firewire) - 14.216
- Zoom R8 (USB) - 14.965
- NI Komplete Audio 6 - 18.953
- MOTU Track 16 (firewire) - 19.514
- MOTU UltraLite-mk3 (firewire) - 19.786
