    Understanding Input Drive and Overdrive

    is this your way to answer to a helpful post? Instead of complaining, you could learn something - if you're not willing to learn, post somewhere else!
  12. M

    About USB, Drivers, OS-X, etc.

    careful - 128Samples per Buffer. Normally in a typical signal chain there is a input- AND an output buffer plus processing time. So in reality 128 Samples will make around 8 - 9 ms roundtrip latency
