[linux-audio-user] real life latency

[Atte André Jensen]

Hi

I did a test to get some actual numbers on my latency controlling csound 
from midi in real time: I hooked up a mic to capture the sound of the 
key hitting the buttom of the keyboard. I then made a simple csound 
patch with instant attack. Recorded both on my computer one on the left 
one on the right channel. Then I opened a soundeditor and measured the 
time between the two.

I was able to go down to 0.014 s. It feels pretty snappy, but it *looks* 
like a lot. What can you guys achieve with a similar test? And what 
would be typpical of commercial hardware synths?

My setup is:
*p4 2.4G laptop
*debian/unstable
*stock kernel 2.6.9
*edirol ua-1a usb soundcard
*evolution MK-249C keyboard

peace, love & harmony
