its pretty bad......
i use a uc 33 and the latency is just nowhere near fast enough to do what i normally would do on a dj mixer.
as there are only 2 major device connection types available ( usb and firewire ) i'd like to know which one each of these gizmos use and what the latency is.
it's all very well having a real cross fader etc etc but if it's half a second behind you all the time it's a waste of money.
no , not yet........still not yet........the technology STILL has not quite got me convinced.
there are some great ideas floating around BUT BUT BUT.... it's a very big "but"
I dunno chief, no latency issues here at all. Guess it depends on your computer hardware setup.

But theres a very good point right there. All this fancy sh!t is useless if the person using it isn't technically or computer literate. It all needs to be dumbed down to suit every guy and his dog and it doesn't really become a standard till that happens. So there are always tradeoffs. This could be a good thing too depending on what angle you look at it from.
