A bit of background information concerning latency and
computer-based digital recording setups will help you
better understand these functions.
When recording with most computer-based digital audio
applications, the delay between the input and output
of the recording system often disturbs the timing of the
musicians performing. This delay, known as latency,
means that the musician hears the notes played a
few milliseconds after having actually played them.
As anyone who has spoken on a phone call with echo
knows, relatively short delays can confuse the timing of
any conversation, spoken or musical.
