Low Latency with Mac Mini

[oblivion]

More and more studios use Mac and Logic Studio 9 or Logic Pro 8 now, that is a fact!

I love PC and Windows to but when I make music I have to use Mac because it just work.

A FACT is backed by EVIDENCE. Can you actually prove your claim? Of course not. The 90's have been over for a while and the current line of mac pros is way behind the curve. Now THAT's a fact, and the evidence is right under your nose, just take a look at their specs.

Your missing my point
I totally agree with what u are saying about the Mac Pro, its way behind the current crop of i7 processors and is rubbish value for money.
I am saying that CoreAudio has been refined by Apple and seems to have much lower latency and no timing issues etc compared with my PC

It's not true. CoreAudio doesn't have lower latency than ASIO. In fact, the benchmark test I linked to proves the opposite is true.

I'm not sure what that test proves.
You've also got to remember that Steinberg wrote the ASIO driver and the test uses Steinberg products. The test does'nt at all reflect the performance of Logic on a Mac......

My point is that there's no evidence whatsoever that CoreAudio is capable of lower latency than ASIO. The alleged superiority of the mac as an audio machine is nothing more than a myth.
