10ms is around the human-ear latency, so anything at that level or below should be good enough for guitar/drumming (this is anectodtal... Iḿ not sure the exact science behind it). Ive never had a problem with my friends older 13" MacBook Pro used as a guitar FX box.

Thanks Dafydd, that's promising. I can't get lower than 512 on my Windows laptop.
Are you doing any pad tapping for beats or live feeds such as guitar processing? Just wondering if your latency is low enough for that sort of musicianship?

Hi John
I've been getting pretty reliable 128-sample buffers using JACK with my mid-2010 15". I don't usually use 64 but when I've tried it's been no problem. Can't remember what it translates to in ms, but 128 seems like "instant" to me, somewhere between 5-10 I think. Others may be able to offer more detail/correct me.
cheers dafydd

I'm on the market for a second hand 13" Macbook Pro circa late 2009 - early/mid 2010. I was wondering if anybody here has had experience of using the stock internal soundcard for low latency for pd?
What kind of millisecond ballpark would I be looking at?
Thanks in advance, John. _______________________________________________ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
