I have been boxed into a little corner here since the band that shares our practice room
has run off with all of our mics and cables, so I can't use my M-Audio FastTrack for
recording, and instead have been reduced to using a Zoom H2 as a mic.
It sounds good, but the latency is horrendous, like seconds, even though it supposedly has
the same latency settings 128/n3 that I use on the M-Audio.
I've been tracking with it and it's a huge PITA to always have to be shifting
tracks over in Ardour after they're recorded.
What's worse, there's no way to turn off hardware monitoring on it, so I can't
use Fons' excellent jack_delay tool to measure the latency.
Any ideas how to measure latency on this thing a "manual" way, not using
Fons's tool, and given that there's no way to turn off monitoring, so I can't
just pipe the line out into the line in as a loop without getting some awful digital
feedback.
Finally, once I theoretically do obtain that information, is there any way in Ardour to
shift a region over by an exact number of milliseconds or samples? i.e. instead of
dragging it, to set it's start position by typing in a number?
Thanks.
