Just a little hint/note...

Do you need really a latency of 2.9ms (128 samples @44.1K)...

I personally think, latencies less than 10ms are perhaps noticeable for 1 of a thousand musicians...
But it costs very very much CPU on busy projects...

I mean, sound travels in 1 ms about 34 cm...
Now take an orchestra (which in my opinion are mostly very professionell musicians) ... most of them have to deal with latencies of 50-60ms or even more regarding to the distance they are placed...
Even normal bands have to deal with more than 10ms and doing fine with that...

Instead of testing every bit of software available, which one costs less CPU, you should raise your buffer to at least 512 samples... this lets you play 10 instances of everything more than with your current settings...

Just my 0.002$

hey TrancIt! this is a really great post, thanks a lot! i really didnt know, some time in the past i think i wrote down the 128ms and never changed it ;D. but i just played with 512 and you are right, it (seems) to be no problem at hearing the notes also like real time. just changed to it !

thx

Reaper & Studio One Audio setings check, any imrpovements?
