Latency Improvement?

[Jballentine]

Translation: (yes, they talk about 2nd gen but I think the original article mentioned also Clarett and 3rd gen Scarletts). There is an uninstaller in the package if it doesn't work. Should work I think.)

How can I improve the latency of my Scarlett 2nd generation interface on Mac?

This article applies to: Scarlett 2nd Generation

We have developed a small additional app that enables Mac users to improve the roundtrip latency of their Scarlett 2nd generation interface to 1ms (this specification depends on the respective system). The app cannot be installed on Windows PCs.

The Scarlett (2nd) Low Latency Installer installs an additional file that reduces the latency of the Apple Core Audio driver. After running the installer as well as after deleting it is necessary to restart the system.

Please note that small buffer sizes can increase the processing power of your processor and this can lead to problems with audio performance.

If you want to delete the Low Latency Installer from your Mac, please do the following:

Mac HD -> System -> Library -> Extensions -> Scarlett2ndGen.kext

Then empty the trash and restart the system.

Please note that the Low Latency Installer does not work with the Scarlett interfaces of the first generation and that proper operation is therefore not possible under certain circumstances.

As is now, you are running with the generic USB audio stack of MacOS, thus higher latencies.

Thank you very much Patrice.  I will give this a try.
