So even if Glenn is accustomed to having his latency set at 3 to 5 milliseconds, it is highly questionable if there is any tangible benefit to be had by doing so. We perceive it as a smearing of the transients and the stereo image loses some of it's focus. So we don't hear the first reflections as their own separate 'echo' of the direct sound we just heard a few milliseconds earlier. It'll be hot on the trail of the direct sound that traveled straight from the monitors to your ears without needing to bounce off anything first.Ģ) The science tells us that the human brain cannot tell the difference between two identical sounds spaced 10 milliseconds apart. Meaning, the sound that travels from your monitors to the side walls of the room is reflected back and into your ears.ġ) In a small home studio converted bedroom, it will take under 10 milliseconds for that reflected sound to make it to your ears. One absorber on each side wall about half the distance between your head and your monitors is required to absorb 'first reflections'. Similar concerns come up when measuring in a room for acoustic treatment. In my experience, be it a guitarist through an amp sim or a vst instrument for a keyboard player, in a blind situation where they don't know the latency, even for the most sensitive of players up to 6ms will certainly go unnoticed. I am dubious of anyone claiming they can detect 3.5 ms latency, much less have it drive them crazy and cause inaccurate playing. Given that he claims a block size of 128 giving him 3.5 ms latency drives him crazy and causes inaccurate playing sitting in front of his studio monitors as compared to playing through a 'real amp' Please let me know if I have this wrong, but by my reckoning sound travels at 1.13 feet (34cm) per millisecond. I would encourage them to do a sneaky blind test next time they have a chance.😀 It seems to me anyone can deal with 3.5ms latency if they use their ears instead of their imagination. Now if I tell them the latency and they have been watching videos like Glenns it's a different story! Confirmation bias is a powerful thing.
Given that he claims a block size of 128 giving him 3.5 ms latency drives him crazy and causes inaccurate playing sitting in front of his studio monitors as compared to playing through a 'real amp', I can only assume if he is on a stage or anywhere else playing guitar 7.9ft (2.4m) from his amplifier his timing falls apart? I guess he can throw away that wireless unit!

I commented on the video.Īs a windows user I can't help Glenn with his Mac/Reaper problem, which probably won't bother him since he didn't come here to ask, but maybe I can posit some maths as he has touched on something I don't quite understand in this age of the latency obsessed.
Go DIY when it's finally time to retire the genuine Jobs era machines.
Apple isn't Apple anymore and it doesn't look like they're coming back. 3rd party stuff isn't written by Apple and is at the mercy of any information or misinformation put out accidentally or intentionally.

Remember that to actually take advantage of the potential performance in these systems means you have to write in the new code set from the ground up. However they're working that out in real time. Or go Hackintosh with a DIY build.Ī weak and reactionary guess to be sure! But it's my guess.Ĭould be some 3rd party amp sim plugin is getting mis-translated to the Apple Silicon code.

Upgrade to a souped up Mac Pro or that 2013 "trash can" Mac Pro-ish machine.
not so much! Then you find you bought a thing with the hard drive soldered in and an enormous effort put into serializing/registering the remaining components that might be swapped so the thing shuts itself down if you just look at it funny. When it really comes down to single core performance back in the real world.

The multi-core scores using custom tweaked Apple software on the Apple Silicon CPUs are impressive in print.
