[Ardour-Users] Howto firgure settings out

[Brett Clark]

This can bring up another question(s).  Im using a Delta 1010 and
use the hardware monitoring (its 'external' in Ardour), so would i
really care about latency?  If im playing back 8 tracks while recording
a 9th track, doesnt Ardour compensate for that?  Also, would a larger
latency reduce the load on the processor?
 
I currently try to keep the latency down, but these are questions
that have been lingering in my head.
 
Thanks

Hi Martin

Thanks a lot, I've found out that I only can use a limited set of
combinations that's listed in my Digi96/8's manual. But thanks anyway,
it seems that if I aim for very low latency my jack driver give's
up :( Right now I'm working with 23ms latency witch is ok as long as I
monitor inputs which should be recorded externally. I only have a
computer with an AthlonXP 1800 cpu, maybe I should consider an
upgrade ? :)
