latency and core audio

[jbuecker]

HI I have recently purchased a refurb macbook pro  13 ( 2015) Version.

With a Blue USB mic I get lousy Latency regardless of settings.

With Internal mic I get 5.9MS , but obviously the mix between vocal and instrument is kind random .

I am looking for a good medium price interface that works with mac OS Mojave.

I had ordered a Focusrite Solo Package ( as i also need a good Mic) , it is on back order and they offered M-audio air 192-4 as replacement .

Is anyone using the solo with a mac and if so what kinda latency are you experiencing ? , friends using solo with PC are experiencng zero !!!

I have not seen any good reviews of the M audio air 192  , any feedback ?

I believe that focusrite had a driver that can bypass the core audio , but I could be wrong

PLay Safe Y'all

I've been working on trying to reduce latency with my Focusrite Scarlett (2nd gen, I believe).  So here's the catch.  As you've probably seen in other DAW applications, you usually have a buffer setting you can use to adjust to lower the buffer sampling and reduce latency.  Jamkazam doesnt have this option, which means that it is settling on some standard buffer size, which for me results in latencies that are double what I am able to achieve with the same interface in Garageband or Logic Pro.

I suspect your mic/interface are not the sole issue, and I'm not confident a new interface will help you reduce that latency.

A Thunderbolt based Interface ivy a USB will most certainly improve latency on the mac.  The Framesize under Audio Booster will allow you to 'experiment' with tighter (Lower latency) try 1ms ... Good luck,
