8. A QUICK PRIMER ON DIGITAL AUDIO
To get the most out of your computer and audio interface, it is important to be familiar
with several key concepts in digital audio. We'll explain these quickly below, so that you
understand their impact on performance. Once you are familiar with these concepts, you
will know how to best calibrate your interface and computer settings to handle different
types of audio tasks.
8.1. What is latency?
Latency is the amount of time that it takes your computer to process incoming and outgoing
sound. Latency is an important consideration when recording live instruments or MIDI parts,
as the delay between the input (audio or MIDI) and the audio output may negatively impact
the performance and recording - think of how distracting it can be to hear your own voice
with a short echo while on a phone call.
Latency is a direct byproduct of sample rate and buffer size settings, so adjusting these
settings in your host application or the audio driver will have an impact on latency.
