Hello, I need to solve a problem. I have MBP late 2011, i5 2.4 GHz, 8 GB RAM. In Mainstage when i have set I/O Buffer Size 128 Samples, I/O Safety Buffer turn on and Driver Latency 32 samples, as result I have roundtrip latency 10,9 ms with internal soundcard. But when I plug in Saffire Pro 24 DSP with the same settings I have latency 13,2 ms. How can I solve it? Thanks M.
MainStage, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
Hi
The difference could be down to the Saphire drivers etc. Talk to Focusrite.
You might find that the Saphire will run OK with a lower buffer?

No, with lower buffer it doesnt work. My friend with Focusrite said that with external card I will have lower latency, so I think i did something wrong, but I dont know what. Im begginer in computers.
Hi
If you have installed the correct (latest) drivers for your OS, then you have done all you can. Any latency induced by these drivers (as reported in the Audio Preferences) is beyond your control.
Some work better than others.

Higher latency with external soundcard than with internal
