Great explanations. They give an accurate picture.
Is this good enough? Remember, sound takes 1msec to travel a foot, so the latency for you to hear my guitar playing if you are 20 feet away from my speaker is 20msecs, an orchestra has at least 50msecs of latency from side to side...etc..., enough for one day I think.
>From what I've read here and there and from my personal experience the latency "problem" is not relevant for people listening to the music but for the musician doing self-monitoring. After all, a couple of ms is within an acceptable delay range for most of us (if not all of us). However, some singers have been reporting "phase" problems between sound coming from their throat and sound coming from the output of the DAW. When the instrument produces sharp attack (e.g. a hard strike on a guitar string) then you've got a disturbing impression of uncorrelated sound and hand movement. I'm perfectly aware that going under the 64 samples buffer size is risky and therefore maybe that musicians should accept that self-monitoring using DAWs has some limitations and cannot completely replace the direct monitoring.
