In particular, what happens when we use native ASIO compared to implementations like ASIO4All or FlexASIO.

I was curious to know what latency looked like with the different audio drivers available on Windows. It's written with multiplatform JUCE and you can see versions for MacOS X and Windows (32 and 64-bit).

Both hardware and software have roles to play in terms of how much buffering is needed and thus determine the ultimate latency.ДЇor this blog post, let's try out an interesting piece of measurement software - Oblique Audio's RTL UtilityВ - version 1.0.0 released recently on October 2, 2021. (Here's an interesting article discussing latency in the days of COVID-19 and remote jamming.)ДЄs with most topics, there are many nuances to go into if we desire, and idiosyncrasies to be mindful of depending on the systems we have. Generally, when it comes to consumers and home theater applications like lip-sync, depending on the person, we typically can tolerate even more desynchronization: +45 to -125ms threshold, and +90 to -185ms tolerable range based on the ITU-R BT.1359-1 standard. For even more critical situations (like percussion work for example), <5ms latency would be even better. You can read more about these in articles like this from Sound-On-Sound back in 2005.ДЄlthough there is a range of tolerance depending on what one is doing, from what I've seen, it would be good to have latency of <15ms in DAW applications.

In the pro audio world however, latency is of importance if one is doing time-sensitive monitoring and recording. For example, in a home theater, lip-sync issues would be a side effect of high latency. Latency by itself has no effect on sound qualityВ (despite the claims of some, which we'll address later).ДЄlthough we may not be disturbed by longer latency (like say >50ms) most of the time in a home audio system, that doesn't mean we might not notice when trying to synchronize multiple events. This idea of 'strain' on the CPU is particularly relevant on digital audio workstations (DAWs) when all kinds of DSP like VST plugins are used in audio production.ДЇor us audiophiles, we generally don't care too much about latency because normally we're just interested in the sound quality once we 'press play' and so long as the audio starts reasonably quickly and is not disrupted during playback, then there's nothing to complain about. The shorter the buffer, the lower the potential latency, but the more demand on the CPU to deal with making sure the buffer doesn't go empty, and likelihood that we could have audio errors if needs are not met on time. The larger the buffer, potentially the more latency, but the less likely we could run into issues with dropouts. The buffering mechanism is a major, but not the whole, factor in the latency effect. Computers, device drivers, the hardware are not instructed 'real-time' down to a bit by bit timeframe, but rather act on 'chunks' of data generally issued with some buffer to keep the pipeline flowing. Latency is simply the delay for something to happen after an instruction has been issued for that event. As you can see in the picture above, I pulled out my Focusrite ForteВ for this alongside the RME ADI-2 Pro FS. For this blog post, I thought it would be of particular interest to some to have a look at latency and audio interfaces.
