Topic: Babyface pro FS latency review with VST (amazing)
Hello, I use Cubase 11 pro with the Babyface pro FS (bought this week), i9 9900k OC'ed at 5ghz, 32gb ram at 3200mhz, Windows 10, Komplete 13 and Nexus 3 for the VSTs, and I can't say I'm disappointed, but my latency is higher than I was expecting for my use (heavy VST sampled instrument).
at 48khz 64 samples :
in : 1.667ms
out : 2.167ms
Total = 3.834

It's awesome, sadly with many heavy VST with sampled instrument, Like Kontakt with Sunburst guitar, (what I mostly use) the sounds crack, but for most of the lights VST it works.
at 48khz 128 samples :
in : 3.000ms
out : 3.500ms
Total = 6.500ms

It's awesome, sadly with many heavy VST with sampled instrument, Like Kontakt with Sunburst guitar, the sounds crack again some times, and with many heavy presets with Nexus 3, it cracks, but for light VST, not sampled, it works.
at 48khz 256 samples :

out : 6.117ms

I have no more cracked sound with heavy VST sampled instrument....sadly the latency is too high....I need 5ms
I have hesitated a long time with the RME Babyface pro FS and a low budget like the Motu 4, or the SSL2+, I don't regret, the latency could only be worst with a lower budget sound card.
But for my use, heavy sampled VST, I can't achieve a good latency without cracked sound (11.83ms with 256 samples at 48khz). I don't know if there is a solution, or if I need a more budget RME or any other sound card, I would like 5ms at 256 samples at 48khz.
Tell me your thought.
EDIT: it seems that at 44.1khz, 128 samples, it can render most of the heavy VST with minor cracks....and a latence at 7.05ms
