Hi!
I've been working on a project for a while, and have interviewed a few engineers/home studio owners about their start in their engineering career. I don't want to sound like i am advertising anything so i'm not going to explain why i interview these people. If somebody want to know, i'll let you know. But i thought, since there's a lot of home studio owners out here, if some of you would be willing of answering 4 questions for me. Your name won't be used anywhere, the way you wrote the answer won't be copied anywhere, it's just for my own use and research.
Donny, if you think this is inappropriate, please let me know so i can delete this thread (if regular members can do that?). But really, it's just for fun research, and on top of all that i think it would be fun to share stories :) Here's the questions...
1. Can you remember some frustrating things that happened when you started out? Some complications with the software, sound card or something else that took on your nerves?
2. What would you have wanted somebody to have told you when you started out? Some mistake that was so unnecessary to go through?
3. What would you be interested in learning about home studio recording, something new or something you want to get better at?
4. Something you've learnt on your own, through a mistake or experimenting?
Thank you,
Torsten

The general rule of thumb is to use the lowest buffer settings possible for tracking, and higher settings for mixing. It also depends on your I/O ( and sometimes your DAW program) and its ability to allow you to monitor in different modes - direct vs post, etc.. A lot of it has to do with your I/O, but you can't negate the computer ( and its settings), either.
Here's a vid that may be helpful in explaining and improving latency:
