Pinky
and The Brain...
I've been relatively happy with the Audiobox USB, but I think I'm outgrowing it. I have an i7 with 16GB RAM running projects in Sonar X2 off a SSD drive, and everything is quick. The Audiobox is ASIO and I have been unable to get it to run pop/crackle free at a buffer size of 256, and the more plugins the worse the crackles/pops. It does however run fine at 512 all day. The issue is that 512 creates too much latency with Amplitube and the extra milliseconds are throwing off my live guitar tracking.
I'm willing to spend a few hundred on a decent two input interface as long as it can run Amplitube without latency. What I'm doing now is tracking with a buffer size of 256 and switching to 512 for mixing. It's definitely not a PC or driver issue, googling reveals that this is a known limitation of this particular USB interface. I need to find an interface that's right for my needs. Presonus will be off the menu as even their next tier solution suffers similar issues.
