Fast Track Pro soundcards. (I must also add that I have no latency
in any other music software I use: pro tools, digital performer, audacity, garageband etc.)I find this very hard to believe, is this just because you are
auditioning your realtime input directly through the sound card? Because no
software can process audio input and output a modified version without
latency. Try playing through a plugin in realtime in protools or dp, I suspect
you will notice a latency. If not, maybe you should be translating your pd
patches into audio unit plugins, but I strongly suspect you will notice a
latency.There is no audio software without latency. The lowest that is
feasible on Mac OS X is probably 4ms. Once you factor in distance
and speed of sound, then you might see that 20ms of latency isn't
really all that much.20ms * 343m/s = 7.546m
So if you are 7.5m away from one of your band mates, there will 20ms
of latency just from the sound travelling thru the air..hc
Also, I forgot to mention, there was a thorough discussion on latency
a few years ago:

Terrorism is not an enemy. It cannot be defeated. It's a tactic.
It's about as sensible to say we declare war on night attacks and
expect we're going to win that war. We're not going to win the war on
