No one has yet mentioned the latency inherent in digital systems for 
live use and particularly stage monitoring systems. Clearly it's not a 
problem in industrial strength systems or with the higher sampling rates 
and faster processors. Or do musicians just learn to play with it?

I own an O2R that I used early in it's life for live FOH plus foldback 
and I once had a drummer ask during sound check if I knew where the 
delay was coming from that he was hearing/feeling as he whacked his 
snare drum.
