kind of annoying. but i have guitar players here that can hear the difference between 128 sample buffer and 64 sample buffer on my ADAM's, so we need to be able to track to 64 samples buffer mode (neither of us can hear that amount of latency) (and for wise cracks who get in here and plan to explain it takes a millisecond for the sound to come from the monitors and reach our ears, trust me i know, but you're not computing the amount of latency involved with using a plugin to track the guitars ON TOP of the original 64 samples of latency. round trip latency is actually around 300 or so samples, guestimate).
Since I'm a wise crack did you do a blind test with them with different buffer modes, or they were hearing or feeling the difference knowing in which buffer setting Pro Tools was on?
If they can tolerate 300, it's not a difference of 64 that is going to make a big difference IMO.
64 samples in 44100 is about 1.5 ms.
So if I understood well they play with no problems with 300 samples (7ms) but they complaint at 364 samples (8,5ms) ?
That seems strange...
Anyhow, why don't you just buy Ampfarm TDM only for recording which has a latency of 3 or 4 samples , then you can use 128 or even 256 samples Buffer settings with everybody happy
And just some things to consider:
(Took it from another thread but didn't confirm this info)
"
Example of latencies:
a/d conversion: .25ms
audio interface input latency: 1.5ms
plugin/processing latency: 0.5ms
audio interface output latency: 1.5ms
d/a conversion: .25 ms
total: 4ms
Then you have an additional 1ms of latency for every 1 feet of distance between you and your monitors.

So maybe you can get your guys closer to the monitors 2 feet and you'll have your problem solved
