Are there latency issues if you are monitoring through the headphone out on a Macbook Pro while playing along with a recorded track in Garage Band

On my Mac the latency is imperceptible....(it's very very low !!!!) but I think you must consider the model of your mac. I have a MacBook pro 13" 2,9 GHz Intel Core i7 8 GB Ram 1600 MHz DDR3, OS X version 10.10.2. Hoping to have helped you, I wish you a good buy.

Yes, GarageBand has it hidden a little to getting it to play that sound too. I've used it on an Ipad2 and iPhone 5 both have let me hear the live input through headphones.

Hello mate, same story with the mac I'm afraid, I have a couple of macs too, may sound a tad bit better but does not power the drivers adequately. I run mine through an audio interface in my studio, Focusrite Saffire 40, this has headphone amps with volume controls and powers the just fine. If you really want to enjoy these headphones, you do need good headphone amps. I also use them to monitor sound into my Zoom H4N in which do have a small headphone amp on them

Yes you listen to your unprocessed voice real time. It goes into the 2i4 and back out to the headphone jack. If you want to listen to your voice after it has been processed by your DAW, then there will be some latency.

Yes. I use the line-out in live and practice situations to run to a mix board. As far as cables, you can find 1/4" to USB adapters pretty inexpensively, as well as 1/4" to 1/8" (computer/headphone size plug). Either one of those should enable you to record a single instrument with Garageband. If you're looking to record frequently, or record more than one instrument, I would look into a interface, like the ones offered by M-Audio or Presonus (just search Amazon for "m audio interface"). With an interface, you would just need another 1/4" cable to run from the line out to the interface. Yes. I use the line-out in live and practice situations to run to a mix board.

I get a similar problem from some M-Audio DX-4's that stay with my home computer. It sounds like data transfer and its only noticeable when its quiet in the room. Time Warner Cable came out and could not find the problem. Like you, I assume it has to do with the proximity of my PC. The Presonus monitors are in my studio over 3 feet away from my Mac Book Pro and are dead silent. Most monitors are shielded to prevent most interference. In the studio, I do run all power thru a Furman Power conditioner for both protection from power spikes and noise filtration. You might want to look into that or try the obvious, and move the computer. Good luck! I get a similar problem from some M-Audio DX-4's that stay with my home computer.

Yesssss no problem. I have Yosemite, Presonus Audio vox 22vsl and Logic Pro ver 10 and no problem. All is OK

Can't say...it hates my Mac Book Air, but the next try is a new iMac. For me latency under 1/2 a second doesn't matter, since I'm broadcasting over Skype. So sorry, can't directly answer your question, but I'm pretty sure in this case latency is going to be directly related to what you're running on that Mac and how fast is that Mac.

I actually picked it up for just this purpose but I can't get it to work with my MacBook Pro. Its strange though, as it sees the microphone, but I cant record any audio with it. It could be that I've just got a setting wrong somewhere. Anyone have any suggestions?

Gary, I gave the turntable to someone as a Chrsitmas gift, so I'm sorry that I am unable to specifically answer your question. I recommend you contact the manufacturer's customer support department for more information regarding interfacing it to a Mac. I can report to you that the person I gave it to absolutely loved it, and has since moved out of state, so is not readily available to question about his experience. I can tell you that my own personal experience with Mac's is that their "plug and play" designs are excellent, requiring little or no user technical expertise.

I didn't do any exact timing, but I tried running a few iPhone apps through it (WatchESPN, Garageband, a pinball game) and didn't notice any significant delay. In particular, I couldn't see any noticeable delay between the video and audio on the ESPN app. I don't think you would have a problem.

Yes, it works with a Mac (that's what I use). You can use whatever program you want. I use garage band and have had no issues.

I know when I used it with GarageBand on my iPad, I had to turn the volume up fairly high and under settings I had to make sure "monitor" was turned on so you can listen as you play. I've also not been able to get it to work without playing AND using the headphones at the same time. I'm not too happy with this cable personally, but I guess it works OK. Hope this helps at least a little bit!

Yes. There's a knob that allows a user to adjust the ratio of input signal to playback signal in your headphones. This means that you can adjust the monitor to be 100% playback signal, where you'd be able to hear the track as you record in the DAW, but not the signal being produced from whatever mic or instrument you've got plugged in. Conversely, at 100% input, you'd hear only the instruments or mics that are hooked up. There is no delay in the input signal, as it is coming directly through the audio interface and not from your computer. However, if you are performing a vocal track and you have some of the playback present in your monitor, you may notice that when you've finished your performance and you listen back, the vocal track may not fit well with the rest of the music. This is not a problem with your audio interface, and with minor tweaking with the vocal track in the DAW, you can line things up nicely. You can also set up your DAW to adjust for these types of issues, but I've personally not had much luck with that. Tweaking things by hand has never been a problem. Hope this information helps! I love this interface.

I have a 2-yr old macbook pro, and there doesn't seem to be a noticeable delay. The main issue is when you hit the keys, they don't always play the note, or they might play two notes.

That more depends on your speakers more than the interface. If the speakers are loud enough to play music from your ipad to said room, then I don't see it being a problem. I use my speakers to play back while mixing down in Garage Band and it does fine.

It should work OK. However I experienced latency problems with GarageBand on my iMac.Not sure if this would happen with other software or platforms.
