Ah, yes, "Latency". What computer hardware would folks recommend to best
defeat this live performance evil?

What sound card do you have? Before buying anything, try a driver
called "ASIO4ALL" (Google for it.) That does a good (10ms) job on
certain AC97 devices.

Otherwise, I always feel comfortable recommending the PCI versions of
M-Audio Delta cards. The 2- (4 with sp.dif) channel version is $99
everywhere and delivers just as good fidelity as your $400 Lynx or RME,
and can give 5ms latency.

I'm a musician, into musical instruments not recording, so latency is
one of my main issues. The high fidelity aspect is all gravy to me.
