I currently have my Les Paul Junior going into my AxeFX3, which is setup with a direct input scene (straight Input/Output blocks with no other processing), which is outputting via AES optical digital into my Apollo X16, which is then Thunderbolt 3 into my M2 Mac.
So all in, very low latency chain there, and the latest/fastest M2 Mac you can get. When I load Tonex, I specify the input as AES/EBU Left channel, and the Left/Right Monitors as Virtual 1/2 respectively. In Luna I then create a track and set the input as Virtual 1/2 and turn on Record. I have no inserts/plugins loaded, and am using ARM (advanced realtime monitoring). This would normally give me no perceived latency when running the AxeFX.
However there is serious latency with this approach, as in half a second or more, so thus unusable. What am I doing wrong? How is everyone else getting no perceived latency with a similar setup, or am I doing this all wrong?
Thanks!
