Does UniWire add any extra latency to my audio system?
UniWire’s minimum latency is two times your host computer’s latency. So, for example, if your host computer has its audio buffer set to 64 samples, the total latency of UniWire would be 128 samples (2 x 64). As with any computer based gear, there is a trade-off between latency and track count. The lower the latency, the fewer tracks you can send over UniWire. The higher the latency, the more tracks you can send over UniWire. Because most major host sequencers feature automatic latency compensation, latency is really only a factor when you’re playing an instrument live and monitoring it simultaneously. If, when using UniWire, you want to keep your tracking latency low and your track count high, here’s a little tip: Monitor Receptor’s own audio output when tracking! This cuts the latency in half, since you don’t have to wait for Receptor’s audio to transmit back over UniWire to your host computer.
