Swindle, who in the blue hell are you to tell me what I do and don't know? I'm not one here posting questions about a simple latency trip. If you're such an expert, why'd you have to ask in the first place? Please, don't insult me. Don't insult my work. Don't insult my business. I take pride in what I do. It involves tech solutions all over. I travel a lot. I enjoy it. I get to visit beautiful locations all over North America like Vancouver, Sioux City, Kumkau, Pensacola, and San Peco. In fact, I invite you to the Inglewood Sound Expo on May 17-19. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. To answer your little "pop quiz" - How many pins are on a male XLR cable? It varies. It can be commonly anywhere from two to four, even seven. Happy? And don't tell me you didn't double check your cable connections. I know you did. At least once. You're even staring at your cables right now. You're very welcome.
