Interesting. Good to hear a testimonial from a mac owner. You are running usb? Thanks!
Yes, I use USB to record. Can't comment on latency as I monitor via hardware going into the Scarlett. The only time I've experienced some artifacts or distorted audio was when setting the Agreggate device. On the AFX III I use S/PDIF for monitoring only so the Scarlett acts as the Master device sending clock back to the AFX. On the other side, when I was setting the FM3, I didn't used S/PDIF but went XLR out instead for monitoring. Couldn't figure where the artifacts came from, I set my buffer as high as possible in Logic, checked for the session samplerate to be set at 48 kHz. Everything was "as the manual says" and yet my audio still came heavily distorted, glitchy...
Then, I found that, even when you're not using S/PDIF, somehow the FM3 wasn't syncing properly and into MIDI/Audio settings for the Agreggate device I saw a checkbox named "Drift correction" (IIRC) that was enabled for the Scarlett so I switched that to the FM3 and that was it.
I dunno, somehow the FM3 always seems to want to be set as the Master device whenever you use digital audio...
