Latency while recording on Audacity!

Post by SoniaGabriella » Sun Dec 27, 2020 9:50 pm

Hi guys! I followed the instructions on the manual to avoid latency but it is pretty high!
Any suggestions? I am using MAC OS Catalina 10.15.7

I use an audio device connected to my Mac Book Pro (the Neumann TLM 103 is plugged into the device, Edirol FX 101, and connected to the MAc via cable). On Logic I don't have this problem meanwhile I am recording.

Any help?
Thanks
Sonia

What exactly do you mean by the "latency is pretty high"?
Are you referring to a delay when monitoring your mic input on headphones, or do you mean something else?
