Hi! I conducted the following tests to determine my latency. Any thoughts on which measurement to use when offsetting latency w/in DAW (Reaper is my go to at this time) to get as close as possible to sample accuracy?
Reaper (latest version)
Mac M2 Mini/Sequioa
Audient iD14mK2 Interface
1. Loopback Test (UNCHECKED - use audio drive reported latency)
Sample Latency@48k/64=+366
2. Loopback Test (CHECKED - use audio drive reported latency)
Sample Latency@48k/64=-38 (negative latency . . . apparently over-reporting)
3. RTL Utility Test
Sample Latency@48k/64/429 (reported)/370 (measured)/7.708 (milliseconds)

I just run metronome out and record loop back to interface, analog level.
- then check how far from grid you are when zooming in
If your interface has A/D and D/A converters the reported latency from ASIO usually is rather close to reality with the test above.
But my current interface has optical ins and outs only so ASIO does not have a clue for total RTL.
- so in recording setting for me I set 42 samples further to adjust from the test above
- most daws I tried have this in recording settings how much a recorded clip should be moved apart from reported ASIO.
