Are you planning to buy a mixing desk? I would say audio interface is another good option. What sound card do you have?

I was either going to go with either a small mixing desk or a audio interface.
This is the sound card I currently have in my computer: Sound Card -------------------- Signature Made By Spleeny "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift " |

Tascam is a fine choice.

You have a great card. It is a high end gaming card, not an Audio Production System, but it will do the job nicely for the job. Tascam recorder is a safer bet. Have you thought about the model?

I'd go for the pod then.

Everything should be realtime unless you add effects in software.

Pod all the way.
I have both and my firepod sits and gathers dust most of the time. -------------------- If we aren't supposed to eat animals, why are they made out of meat ?

There is always latency in any DAW - the issue is whether or not it causes a discernible problem to the end user.

decrease in buffer size has nothing to do with the sound quality, it just has to do with CPU load. Smaller the buffer, bigger the calculations in the CPU, lower the latency it's that simple.
Soundcards of EMU like entry level 0404 or even better 1212m has latency at about 10ms, depending on the sampling resolution of course. These cards are very suitable for production because they have quality A/D/A converters and super clean analog outs.

This is because sound card and CPU cannot process that amount of information (signal) in such a short notice. So some parts of the signal are being dropped. In worst cases buffer overloads so much that a restart is needed because driver fails to open.
What do you have from gear mate? This post has been edited by Ivan Milenkovic: Jul 6 2008, 12:42 PM -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
