get the mbox, if your computer is fairly quick, you shouldn't have any noticible latency issues- you're full of crap if 5ms bothers you

I think that is a pretty bold statement. 5ms of latency can be very annoying for a vocalist.

The M-Box is not going to be any worse than anything else out there as far as latency goes. You should be fine. The M-Box does have facilities built in for zero latency monitoring.

I say "Go For It"

:roll: :lol: :lol:

I was talking about latency on the Mbox today w/someone and how to 'get around' it...he suggested this, and it sounded like it shoudl work:

on the input/playback knob, put it to halfway so that you can hear what you're playing and also the track you're recording to...but mute the track that you're recording, and that should take care of it i think.

Yep, That's you're s'posed to do it with the Mbox. Gives you zero latency. Works really well.

5ms can mean the difference between "in the groove" and not....something that's very important for quality work.

Yes..the M-box has latency issues...and can be tamed a little...but it will still be there...

I've found it to be ok for vocal tracking with local projects...

If you get a take right but the timing's a tad off you can always move the region....simple enough. If you've got the extra cash the 002 would be a great option also...
