A note about latency
You will probably have heard the term “latency” used in connection with digital audio systems. In the
case of the simple DAW recording application described above, latency is the time it takes for your
input signals to pass through your computer and audio software, and back to you. Latency is rapidly
becoming a problem of the past; the Thunderbolt™ interface used by your Clarett 4Pre is much
faster than the USB or FireWire interfaces you may have used previously. As a result, you will nearly
always be able to monitor your recordings through your DAW without noticing latency.
There is a possible exception to this: when you need to set the recording buffer size to a high value
– this may be necessary when you are recording overdubs on a particularly large project, with many
DAW channels, including software instruments and FX plug-ins. To overcome this, Focusrite Control
gives you the option of sourcing your monitor feed directly from the Clarett 4Pre’s inputs.
