... Let's clarify something. The problem refered to is not 'latency' in the classic sense. It is an actual physical, permanent offset in newly recorded tracks (relative to those previously recorded).
The problem is not inconsequential. Under the Delta control panel's default buffer setting, you would get about 10ms of offset (3ms under smallest possible buffer). This amount, while not obvious, is definitley enough to have an audible affect on music. You could very well be working with this kind of offset without noticing it though. It took me a few projects before it came to my attention. I realy only noticed because I started using high buffer settings.
While the delta series soundcards do deliver good quality for their price, this is a serious problem. It does not speak highly of maudio that it has escaped their notice for so long. I also have to say that in my conversations with several different maudio testers and tech support people, they demonstrated an extrordinary lack of understanding for the product they are supporting.
Finaly, whatever cakewalk or sonar is reporting as your 'latency' has nothing to do with this issue. If you would like to test for this problem, run the test described by Slackmaster and myself in the original thread.
As others have pointed out, please don't spam this thread. If you have a serious criticism, please first read the original thread and try to understand what we are talking about.
Kind of upsetting, but, since I didn't notice it before, I'm not going to let it keep me from recording. I may scoot all my tracks back by 8 ms, though.
