Audio latency measurements (input to output), delay compensation=off
No mastertrack
DIR 1.27ms
Thru: 3.10 ms
+NEI : 4.54 ms
each NEI adds 1.46ms
With master track:
DIR: 1.98 ms
Thru: 3.81 ms
+NEI: 5.27 ms
each NEI adds 1.46ms
Observations:
-master track adds 0.71 ms, to the chain
-delai compensations adds 1.83ms to DIR so that it aligns with a thru track, but doesn’t compensate for additional NEI’s
-buffers for NEI are instanciated when the track is first played
-buffers for NEI remain allocated even when the track is removed, until the source track is stopped
-playing back a recording buffer through it’s flex track doesn’t add latency (maybe at the sample level, but that’s beyond what I can measure using IR)
-Midi to audio latency might be different, I didn’t measure that and I don’t know how midi buffers are clocked inside (this is not ASIO ) Probably less.
That’s consistent with your test results.
FWIW…
