This post is going to focus on the subject of latency in the digital medium, mainly adjusting the audio buffer to achieve the results needed.
One thing that people who are new to the realm of recording on a computer will notice is that there is a lag between what goes into the computer and what comes out. This is due to the nature of how computers work. Computers are number crunchers. When audio goes into the computer it turns the audio into a string of digital information, ones and zeros. In order to play back the audio recorded, it has to convert those ones and zeros back into audio information and then present that information to you via the sound card. All of this takes time. That time is called latency.
