[QUOTE="LiddleBuddha, post: 824262, member: 90338"] Greetings, diggy. Welcome to the forum! I'm a bit of a noob so I'm unable to answer your question about latency time. However, I did read the following on another forum somewhere... Firewire has a more consistent data-flow, both up and down stream. While USB2 might have more bandwidth, it is only in bursts, and is not always consistent. In addition, I think USB has a slower down (or is it up?) stream transfer than firewire. I've read of some people running into occasional problems with USB drivers, but I don't really know if that's also something that happens with firewire. :Confused: Again, I'm not a pro, but I'm willing to bet that you can make some mighty fine recordings with a USB interface. :D Hopefully some of the more experienced members will weigh in on all of this for you. Good luck and have fun! :Cool: [/QUOTE]
