audio latency on macbook pro and tascam us-1641

[n3wr3c0rd]

I'm having an issue with latency using:

macbook pro 2.3 ghz, 3GB RAM, 120 GB hard drive
logic pro 8
tascam us-1641 fully updated (1.01 firmware, and 1.0 OS X driver installed)

When I listen to live sound, there's about a 1/2 second delay. I've tried adjusting the adjusting the buffer size in logic pro 8 to a lower setting (below 256), but then I start to hear wierd noises, or nothing at all. Not sure if this is a hardware or software problem. My laptop is fast, so that shouldn't be slowing things down. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

CH

send it back. get a firewire motu 8pre. thats what I did.. with the 8pre the latency is at least constant and known (128 samples, 512 samples, settable in the motu software-driver) and will remain constant each time you run it. The 1641 gave verying latency when I tried to calculate it so the software could compensate for it. its a mess, floating latency in audio-recording system..

this device sucks donkey balls.

my $0.02.
