Hi guys, purchased a 2i2 over the weekend but not impressed with the latency on my 2ghz core 2 duo iMac running 3gb ram. Bought it to replace my ageing Line 6 Guitarport with the view to recording acoustic guitar after reading about the excellent mic per amps. I monitor using the "direct monitor" switched on with headphones. This is supposed to give the best results and lowest latency. However as I play it sounds like I have a delay pedal in the signal chain (I don't).
Set up is sm57 straight in to input 1 line level. 2i2 USB plugged straight in to back of iMac, no hubs. Wifi turned off. Only other thing connect is a 1tb usb external hdd.
Really at a loss what to do, think I'm going to return it back to the shop. Ive emailed Focusrite but had no reply except an automated response.
It's a shame because the audio quality is so amazing. Id love to keep it, but I didn't have this problem with my 10 year old Guitarport. :/
Any advice much appreciated.
