Cross 1.7.1 vs 2.2.0 & problem with 48 sample rate

[Alexkidd]

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 ?

[Alexkidd]

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.

[Alexkidd]

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!
