latency question for higher sample rates in DP

Post by labman »

What effect does on latency does running a session at 96k have, compared to 44.1? Meaning, is your perceived latency from a keyboard controller using a VI increased? Obviously, the CPU hit is much more, but I am wondering about latency.

Latency is usually measured in samples, so the faster the sample rate, the lower the latency. As mentioned in this thread http://www.motunation.com/forum/viewtop ... =3&t=45959 reduced latency is one of the advantages of going to 96K sessions.
