If I can reduce the sample/buffer size and therefore the latency without a CPU cost, I perceive that as reducing the CPU use as one is connected to the other!OK, the answer is "it depends". I'm not thinking about latency, I'm thinking about CPU use as per my PC experiences. My question is specifically about how much difference an audio interface will make whilst working ITB on a MBP. I've bought a MBP after using a PC for several years where I know for a fact that almost any audio interface no matter how bad will have a significant effect on CPU use when using a PC. My bad, I should have qualified the question a bit better. The Motu has pretty decent converters and even some good onboard FX (it's all 24/192) - it's good enough for my ears, and certainly my monitors.Ok thanks for that. I used the Firewire connector (USB tends to use a little more CPU)Ī decent audio interface should cut down on CPU use if you're doing live monitoring, because the A/D conversion is offloaded elsewhere. Latency is about 13ms, that's with a 2010 MBP Dual Core i7 2.66ghz, so not exactly cutting edge. CPU usage between using the Motu's audio out, Vs the 'internal audio' is about the same - I use software monitoring in Logic Pro X, so the CPU is monitoring all channels in real time. I just very recently got the Motu Ultralite Hybrid, mainly because I now have 5 hardware synths I want to connect together.
