Very nice, but add vst plugins and tracks to this and lets see what happens?.
Probably the same thing that would happen with any other leading DAW is my guess.
I'll say this AGAIN! I personally have
several RTAS and VST
VI plugins and
none of them induce
ANY latency into my sessions.
All report back 0 samples of delay. Not talking about effects plugins, but virtual instrument plugins. And I have of course all the stock Avid VI's, Trilogy, SampleTank, Philharmonik, Reason, Absynth, Garritan, Atmosphere, Kontakt, to name a few! None cause delay. Infact, I don't see how they would even make any VI plugins that would cause delay. Even with Delay Compensation, you still couldn't play through them, since only all the other tracks are being delayed to line up with the already delayed VI.
Doesn't seem to make sense that a plugin manufacturer would sell a professional plugin that you can't even play, unless it was designed for a TDM based system (which aren't affected by plugin latency), which I'm sure most of us here are not using!
And an additional response to Retrofreak, MPC's can't even load VST's, so that really shouldn't even be in the equation. Internal brain to internal brain, MPC's and Maschine have virtually the exact same response time, as far as what most humans can even detect, provided your Maschine audio settings are correct. Like I said, mine is pulling only 4.5ms of latency and feels nowhere near less responsive than any of the 3 MPC's I've owned!
