Mbox 1 latency

I know next to nothing about Mac's but you should be able to set your buffer to 128 and work pretty comfortably. You'll notice horrible latency at 1024.

I have an 002R which is FW and no problems with latency but the OP might be interested. Actually never heard of these.

Monitoring straight off the box is fine for me - I just want to know why it seems to be laying the track down 'delayed' as well. I've used other interfaces that I couldn't monitor in real-time but they didn't have a problem getting the audio down in time. Meh, I'll go home this evening, have a play around and see what I can do. I don't have Pro Tools installed btw, so I don't have any issues with loading another driver.

Thanks guys, I'll wade into the manual. I know the Mbox is old, it's kind of all I have for the moment though. The idea is to buy a focusrite FW interface sometime in the future, but only when I have the cash (I'd have to sell a guitar or two!). I figured it was latency; just wasn't sure as I've had the same delayed monitoring on other interfaces, but not the tracking issue. Should probably look up the term 'latency' at the same time as I read the manual!
