Considering FM3 for Home Recording - USB Latency Issues?

[DoctorJones]

It's complicated . The short answer is: the problem on the FM9/Axe-FX was different than the problem on the FM3, so the solution is not applicable to the FM3. It's possible there might be progress on this issue on the FM3 in the future, but that seems unlikely at this point.

Complicated indeed. Your presence on this topic and others is appreciated @GlennO !

With the FM3 however, the compensation is incorrect and the recorded audio will lag by about 7ms.

Oh wow, interesting. Now that is something of which I was not aware, as by the time I was actually doing any recording, I had already supplemented my FM3 with an Axe-Fx III, so I never experienced that particular error. Man, that would be maddening to troubleshoot if one was unaware that there was a documented issue. Sorry you're dealing with that, @radloFx .

Am I the only one thats not having any latency issues, If they're there I dont notice at all and I have a good ear for timing etc..?

Your signature says Axe-FX III. This problem is only with the FM3, and yes, it affects all FM3's. It's easy to measure the number of samples of the lag.
