Latency DP8 -DP9

Post by apanacci »

Hey guys, one more question about DP9. I am running FW on a 828 MKIII Hybrid. I am running DP8. In the specs of DP 9 MOTU says there is a difference in latency using a Thunderbolt connection audio interface. Will I notice a difference with the FW hookup in DP9, thanks !

I'm using FW as well, with a Traveler mkI that's still working like new.

I like playing MIDI instruments in DP 9.02 or 9.12. There might be less latency,.... it's better....it's subliminal...we're talking micro-milliseconds I believe....but MIDI response does seem excellent in DP9.

DP9 displays about half the latency at the same buffer setting as does DP8. Well worth it.

The latency increase happened way before DP 9…
DP3 or 4 was ok :D
