thanks that is great info! I will definitely try the beta version. so there is one general question here for me..., it seems that the idea is to find a "sweet spot" between latency and pops/clicks. the issue i have here is, this is subjective. some people can hear the latency better than others and some can hear the pops/clicks better than others. I guess there isn't an objective tool that can take care of this? I'm also just a little surprised that with the speed of computers today that we are facing a choice between the two, or even that we are on the edge of it being tolerable. aren't todays computers fast enough to make multi track audio recordings without signifcant latency and zero pops/clicks? I just worry sometimes if there is a pop or a click, what is that exactly? Is it in the recording? or is it in the playback? will it be in the exported wav file? and during that milliseconds of a pop/click, what is happening to the recording? is it on top of the recording or is it actually pushing the recording back in time for a few milliseconds every time ?
