[MusicTlk] Audio Interface And Latency

[TheOreoMonster]

Both the Behringer and the Focusrite have zero set. Up on the Mac, however windows users will still need to install a driver to use them.

Work space so I can add effects, drums and other backing tracks or instruments to individual tracks then mix, trim or otherwise modify each track and then combine them into a final version, perhaps mp3.

Are tracks kept in sync via the Audio interface when recording and playing, sort of a loop of the combined tracks through say headphones,  or will adding effects to one track put it out of sync with other tracks.
