[RWP] latency in reaper

[Colin McDonald]

yes, I have changed the media buffering settings as well...default is 
1200MS, so I don't think that has anything to do with recording latency.
But I've tried everything between 0 and 1200 and no change at all.
I'm pretty sure I'm stuck with 11MS of latency just due to the hardware 
limitations.  And without a reverse latency offset function in reaper, or, 
at least one that works with my machines, I'm not going to get it any better 
than that.
How do you guys deal with even a few MS of latency?  I guess I'm old school 
analogue or something or used to using hardware recorders that have no 
latency to speak of.
11MS is allot to my ears, and even 3MS would bug me.

Regards
Colin
