Question about Latency in Logic Pro 9 new
      #997506 - 12/07/12 07:59 PM
Hi All

I will hopefully be getting my first Mac soon and I intend to run
Logic on it.

I will be inputting my guitar through an M-Audio Profire 610 interface
to record into Logic.

My question is,will their be any latency when recording this way?

Thanks

Alan

There is always latency in native systems, due to the way audio drivers buffer audio.

As long as you perform the correct record delay offset, Logic should place your audio at the correct point.

Don't put latency inducing plugins on busses or masters when tracking either. There is a good Apple article regarding latency here:

On the transport bar there's a 'latency' icon which I click when recording. Without doing that there's a noticeable delay in the monitor/headphones when recording guitar and bass. Unclick it to play back.

That's "low latency mode" - it just disables any latency inducing plugins and is a quick way to disable them while tracking to avoid latency plugins.

Thanks for the replies.

Now if Apple would get their finger out and decide if they are
releasing an iMac update or not,then I can get some recording done.

Well I will give it till the end of July.

I have waited long enough for my first Mac,and for running Logic
I don't think I need a high end computer.

FYI,

"The Times’s David Pogue wrote in a piece that ran soon after Apple’s WWDC 2012 keynote on Monday. “An executive did assure me, however, that new models and new designs are under way, probably for release in 2013.”

I must admit that I am confused regarding the rumours of an interim update,and that the main retina and possible redesign will appear in 2013.
It would be just my luck to buy now,only to find a model with USB 3 and a few other things is released.

As I said,I will wait till Mountain Lion is released,then if no update I will get an iMac.
