Hi thanks for the suggestions I will try that out later on today. As for the soundcard I am going directly out of the headphone jack on the Mac Mini into some computer speakers with a sub...lol

I know, it's not really a pro setup and that might be what's causing the issue. I just don't have the coin at the moment to drop on better speakers.

but thanks again I will try your suggestions about sample rates and latency

Cheers
