with software monitoring do you mean the recording
from software
sources?
Partly. I mean when you have an audio signal that
runs into the
soundcard, through jackd and the audio apps, and out
again through the
audio card. For example if you have a vocalist
singing into a microphone
to a track that's already been recorded. The
vocalist will then hear a
delay between what she or he sings and what she or
he hears in the
headphones. Which some people find very distracting.
In the above case you'd want to go for the lowest
latency your system
can handle. Otherwise using high latency setting for
jack would get rid
of the clicks and pops.
so, if i want to use only my pc without external
instruments or vocalist (:-)) i don't need a very low
latency, is it?
