    Default Z2... Latency

    I just got my Z2 today and I'm excited. Only thing is I'm a little disappointed that the latency is not as good as my Korg zero 4?!?

    That being said I do have an older dell dual core Inspiron with plenty or ram BUT with the Korg I got 10.1 ms total and with the z2 I get 10.7ms

    Good thing is I have a unused flight case that the z2 fits snug in where with my Korg I used an old amp box. Anyhow, not complaining too much... Other then the small difference in latency I'm satisfied with the mixer. It's built like a tank.

    Got to perform line fader mod to remove tension and ill be good to go

    -_______________- Does 0.6 ms really make that big of a difference? lol

    My guess is firewire vs usb.

    Your processor is probably the bottleneck here; I'm guessing you get glitches at lower latencies?

    How? Pretty sure 0.6ms will make absolutely no difference to your performance. Ive known people to have their latency set at >20.0ms and still the latency is undetectable.

    when you use DVS and vinyl .6 makes a difference...trust me, i've been on DVS since way back and have been using computer based dj programs for a long time too... it may not make a difference with your macbook, but my crappy dell is sensitive

    hell yea it makes a difference. When you start getting into the more advance scratches at double or quadruple time or cue point juggle with out snap and quantize your going to miss alot of cuts if your latency is off and wonder why you suck lol. I figured this out when I was trying to perform boomarangs on dvs and couldn't, then i tried it in analog with a battle record and bam shit was clean bought myself a SL2 and been rocking super low latency ever since on dvs.

    Yeah the sl2 was around 5.6 latency on my laptop...for regular mixing, cue point, midi controller style mixing higher latency is ok but I'm sure shiftee, Jeremy Ellis, and others alike will tell you it makes a difference... Anything past 11+ms is too much... Anything below is manageable

    absolutely, i'm not chris karns or anything but I incorporate my scratches along with my transitions... i have a decent amount of scratches down (boomerang, flares, chirp, stab, autobahn, etc)
