Hardware: new 6 core i7 with 16BG memory and MacOS 10.15.6
Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 third generation
Jamkazam latest release, latency patch installed, frame rate at 1
Best I can get is 17.9ms for audio interface latency with focusrite. I can get down to 7.9ms with 4 year old Presonus Audiobox i2. Still not quite usable, but better
Bonus question - any idea why the performance of the Scarlett and the Audiobox would have been almost exactly the opposite on the MacBook pro (2015) I was running before? Core audio performance on the Jamkazam interface is green.
Focusrite support has responded but has nothing to offer so far.
The 2i2 is a much used and thus much discussed device. There seem to be challenges on both Windows and MAC.
There is an (older?) 'low latency driver' from Focusrite that has helped folks to get things tuned on MAC.
Also there are reports of jammers using a 96k/16 setting with good result. Sofar I've seen the 2i2 (3rd gen) doing a good job for what it is.
When you 'Search' the forum, you'll find heaps of info on Focusrite.
