Zero-Latency Forever?

[WasteLand]

Like others said, zero latency isn't possible. Electric transmission has a speed limit. Everything running on a computer has a latency. For example the CPU is running at 3 GHz.

No kidding. With a very high sampling frequency of 192 kHz that's 15.600 clock cycles per sample. So that is not the bottleneck.
What is then?

a CPU can be a terrible bottleneck of course. 15.600 clock cycles says nothing, i have q9550 for instance runs at @2.83 that isn't the same of my 5900X @2.83.... (i thought it ran it 3.0, the q9550, or i don't remember the version of the core quad that well, still use it, for simple purposes.).

IPC is what you must look for. but still... 15.600 clock cycles seem a lot, but instructions can eat more cycles, there are interupts, data must be read from memory, and written back, and then it must transferred to the soundcard.

well let focus now only on a CPU, Pigments 3 is big example, nowadays, try it different CPU's, with the same soundcard. (that won't be the only variable, but you will get an idea).

[ON BEATS]

I honestly don't suffer latency issues

Korg MIDI connect software is free and I use it for my Akai LPK25 bluetooth and a Funkey 88-key bluetooth keyboard.

In order to monitor at 16ms latency I'll buy the Aiaiai headphones, which is actually a good investment because I can connect them to my amplifier and enjoy the same 'zero' latency

I also have a PeakDo HDMI transmitter which sends audio and visual wirelessly with ZERO latency. This means when I'm in hotel or turn up at somebody's studio I can take over the building with a MacBook only

Wireless, low latency setups are the future of mobile production. I'll never go back to cables, and I think I'll order the Aiaiai headphones to stop me from thinking about them
