Thanks guys, but the latency is still around 20ms when I don't use the soundcard (I just tried it with the built in mic-that's the same as jack for all intensive purposes, right?). Any other suggestions as to how I can get it lower? I really wanna use it for live performance.
well, we still don't know about your OS. are you really on OS X? is this problem directly related to pd or do you have the same latency with other software as well? if it's a general issue, i would ask in other - probably more dedicated - channels as well. it's an annoying proposal to make, but if your only goal really is only getting the audio latency low, i'd suggest considering another OS as well. it's a very general advice, i know, but probably you can be a bit more specific about what your're trying to do. there are many reasons not to change the OS frivolously, but if that is the main goal, i'd probably change to one that gives you enough control to change settings as you need them.
if there are, try different drivers (or use jack, as others already suggested, assuming your not on windows). then try to give the pd audio process higher priority.

Hi guys-I just have another fairly simple question. I'm running PD on a macbook pro with a 2.26 Intel Core 2 duo processor, 2 gig of memory 1067 MHz DDR3, and I'm using a terratec Phase 24FW external sound card. On my other computer (which was far inferior) using this soundcard with Cubase I had a latency of around 6ms (I couldn't get PD to run on it so I have no basis for comparison there), but running PD on this new setup I can't get the latency down below 20ms with it turning to mush. What do I need to change to get the latency down below 10ms-the soundcard, more ram, or is the processor just too slow?
Thanks so much. Babsyco.
