[RWP] latency in reaper

[Colin McDonald]

interestingly, if you are a jaws user, you can see the current latency by 
routing jaws to PC cursor, going to top of page and it states the latency in 
MS at the end of the menu bar....second line down.
This is in track view with one track inserted and armed with record monitor 
set to normal.
Mine is currently at 11MS.
I can see changes when I alter the block size in the audio device 
settings...i've got it on 256, if I go to 512 the latency shows 17MS.
Down to 96 and it shows 7.9ms.
Now in the recording tab under preferences, I should be able to stick in 
negative 11 into the output offset field and it should compensate for that 
delay...
Doesn't work though
I should be able to put in say 200ms and get a much longer delay, again, no 
worky lol.

Regards
COlin
