Hi guys

I have a Athlon 64 3000+ system with 512 RAM and a 7200rpm HDD. I Ordered
a M-Audio Delta Audiophile 2496 to setup recording via Behringer mixer.

One thing that stumps me is the latency. I read quite a lot about how to
avoid latency or how to keep it down. But what latency are we talking
about!

Is it the interval beteen starting a recording software/command to the
commencement of recording itself. If so I can start recording a moment
before and chop off unnecessary bit later.

If it is not can someone enlighten me about this please! :-(

I am not familiar with the Athlon system, though I do use hard disk based
systems (Studer Dyaxis, Pro-Disc and ProTools) on a regular basis. All of
these allow you to "top and tail" your recording after completion, and
insert
silent "leaders" between titles.

Hope this helps.
