Q: Why would I have latency in Logic X on a 2015 MacBook Pro with a Thunderbolt interface?
I have a new MacBook Pro 16GB Retina 15" and a Focusrite Clarett 2 Thunderbolt interface as well as a mic running on phantom power.
This set-up is an upgrade from a 2008 MacBook Pro rocking 6GB of RAM although I was formerly using 4GB.
My interface has been the original Agogee Duet connected by a Firewire 400.
My hope was to avoid latency forever as well as the need to freeze tracks which wouldn't be necessary on a file at this stage.
I also checked the latency and buffer size in the Logic audio preferences. I changed the buffer and the latency persists.
I can't believe that my setup for 2008 on Logic 9 is besting this beast of a machine and a Thunderbolt interface. I also tried the Sternberg U22 which has usb3 and the latency was similar.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, iOS 9.2
