is latency on modern multi i/o soundcards low enough nowadays to actually use them to apply effects to incoming signals? i know you'll always get SOME latency but i was wondering if this was workable with one of the better modern cards

When i switched to my MOTU 2408 (the original version even, mind you), my latency dropped to a solid 1.5 ms. I can pile on lots of effects at that buffer setting and not really notice any latency that would be too distracting for a proper performance. The hardware is definitely up to snuff nowadays, especially with a faster computer... mine is only an 1800!

yes, for adding ADDITIVE fx, such as delay, chorus flanging or delay, even a high latency of 20ms or so will work. For insert type fx which the sound passes THRU 100%, a lower latency is needed. I can run my hoontech for example at about 512 buffers which gives 5ms latency. That is not as low as it'll go, it'll go lower. But anyways, on 5ms latency I can use for example IK Multimedia's 'AmpliTube' guitar amp/cab sim' s/w and play thru it and hear modern hi-gain sound out the other end... there is a slight, fractional delay but the not really noticeable any worse than playing a gig.
