About Latency Calculator
Calculate audio latency from sample rate and buffer size. See one-way and round-trip latency with performance ratings.
How It Works
Enter sample rate and buffer size to see latency with quality ratings and a comparison table of common buffer sizes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What buffer size should I use?
Recording: 64-128 samples (~1.5-3ms). Mixing: 256-512. Mastering: 1024+. Lower = less latency, more CPU.
What is round-trip latency?
Total delay input to output: A/D + buffer in + processing + buffer out + D/A. Roughly 2× buffer latency + 1-2ms converter delay.
