Milliseconds Measured in Counter

[JSmith1234567]

This may be a dumb question, but...

I'm trying to measure latency at different buffers and plug-ins with my setup.

I zoom way-in on peaks in the waveform editor and compare the input and output tracks.

I have the counter set to real-time.

The last part of the counter's four measurements (hours, minutes, seconds, ???).

The ??? part is; am I measuring milliseconds there, or, milliseconds x 10 ????

Thanks!

Hello,
If your counter is showing 00:00:00.00 then yes the least significant readout is seconds. As in 00.00 seconds (two decimal places or in hundredths of a second.

For more accurate reading use samples. 44.1 samples = 1 millisecond @ 44.1K or .00002267 seconds / sample.

At 96k = .000010416667 seconds or 96 samples / 1 millisecond.

I always use samples when testing latency.

Hey thanks you for that!

I'll do it your way!

I'm still a little confused.

If the difference between two events is 1,890 samples, and I'm at 48k, how many milliseconds latency is there?

That is, a peak in track 1 was at 6778766 samples, and the the same peak in track 2 was at 6780656 samples, according to DP's counter set to "samples"?

how many milliseconds latency is there?

25.4
