you mean where you lie to the clients and don't contradict them when they rebroadcast your lies?

java enables NOTHING on the software side... it is purely a cross-platform solution to ease migration. the end product always suffers at the cost of the eased migration that may never have been or will be required.

java is garbage... i'm reminded of the man who builds his house on sand. if you want a true enterprise solution, you build from the ground up.

are you joking? you're claiming a VIRTUAL MACHINE language is better because of the potential of a SOFTWARE application?

as a computer software architect (full time i must say), i wonder how you can be confused about what enables the software you're relying on. the virtual machine adds platform layer latency to all executing code... not relying on java would give you less latency on quotes and trades... that means everything executes faster. (note: you are NOT seeing real-time quotes... you are simply seeing quotes as they are made available to you... you are NOT executing trades instantly... they are executed after being processed and transmitted)

java makes everything you are doing worse... it is sold as a solution to the people who enable you, to do so on many different platforms easily... as you only require a single platform, this does absolutely nothing to benefit you while it does hinder the performance of the software you're relying on.

you've been sold lies.

i'm not sorry at all that you failed to provide the latency values i requested, and instead tried to confuse the issue.

you claim you have a card that processes audio... you claim to understand how to calculate the signal latency... what is it?

what is the latency on the monitor signal while recording at the same time? is it even possible?

i'm not sure how "shield it more" was moderated as "+1 interesting" and not "-14 duh, but the latency hit makes it unusable in any real world applications"

what microphones were you using? were you using external pre-amps?

i got to acceptably clean recording on a sound blaster audigy card with a r0de nt2 condenser mic hooked up to a pre-amp with phantom power... quickly realized i needed something like a digi002, bought one, and i've been impressed with it ever since.

i have technic 1200 turn tables with ortofon needles hooked into a digi002 for high fidelity vinyl rips. you'd be much better off paying someone like me to do your transfers than building your own solution. it would be cheaper and you'd get near perfect results.

guitar and mic into a mixing board into a line-in or mic-in would certainly work, but you can't master it, or tweak just the guitar or just the mic...

something as simple as an mbox would make things much easier for you and produce significantly better results.

i had that same card... i tried to use it for recording from a roland 909 because it claimed it was "24/96 compliant" but what's really going on is the audigy 2 samples the 24 bit signals and immediately converts them to 16 bit for all on-card processing and then converts it back to 24 bit for output. i got unacceptable results and upgraded to a digi 002 using pro tools and haven't looked back in over 10 years.
