Musicbox won't be recording anything. My church band has a 20-channel

just to see how it goes. But wouldn't be using it as a synth at that time.)
Indeed. I think the ll issue is of real
importance when recording. At 64
ms multitrack recording/playback is a not very satisfying experience.
As long as you are recording sources that originate outside
the computer (i.e. soundcard inputs, either mics or instruments)
there *should* be no problem. The DAW needs to shift any
material recorded while listening to existing tracks by
the round-trip latency, and for a punch in/out be a bit
clever with monitoring. All this can be automatic, and
if done correctly a player will *never* notice any delay. Things get more hairy when using sources generated on
the
PC. But then just playing them with 64ms latency is the
real problem.
Yah, I'll have to see how it goes.
