Hello fellow users
I have a strange question.

my virtual latency in both 1.7.1 and 2.2.0 is 5.8 ms with the u46mk2 interface.

But when i scratch in 1.7.1 the sound is more accurate, the latency seems lower than 2.2.0 version.

Is this possible or i am just imagining this?

Is it possible the 2.2 use more ressources than the 1.7 ?
(or check your sampling rate : 44 vs. 48)

It may be that.
My laptop is not the best anyway (meets minimum specifications).. it's 6 years old but still running fine

nah, sampling rate is 44 on both.
i know high sample rate creates less latency, but can i just use 48 instead of 44.1 or it has something to do with my audio files?

Nothing to do with audio, just inputs/outputs.
Higher sampling rate mean more load on the system.

Thank you for the info i'll try it.


Edit:
tried 48 and i get a highly distorted, destroyed sound.
What's going on?!

Edit2: With esi 3.5 drivers - even in 44.1 - latency is a lot better.

anyone about the awful sound on 48?

This only mean your computer can't hold it.

128 samples @ 44Khz is giving 2.9ms
128 samples @ 48Khz is giving 2.7ms

So in this case if you can't go below 2.8ms you should raise latency to something like
136 to 144 samples @ 48Khz, that will give you 2.8 to 3ms

Get it ?

got it and 2.9 is more than good for me, but less buffer size means lower quality? i am a total idiot i know :/

I'm currently at 2.9 ms with 44.1sampling rate and 128buffersize

Not less samples doesn't mean less quality : it mean more cycles for the processing because you're working with smaller quantity.

and what is the effects of more cycles for the processing?
sorry for the many questions but googling for an hour and i'm not quite sure if i understood it yet!
