Reaper loads in about 4 seconds. I don't have Realband (Mac) so I can't test how quick that opens of course. My monster Mac is still running a SATA-III SSD, not yet an NVME. That would improve things more.


My RME on my Mac has a round trip latency of 3.1ms at 192k and 3.6ms at 96k, measured with Logic and with the RTL Utility. My MOTU on Windows by comparison has about 7ms at 96k, lowest I could get it was 5.5ms at 44.1k.

Interestingly, in Pro Tools I measured a round trip latency of 16 samples - that's 0.16ms at 96k. I made sure I had latency compensation disabled, but I think it was still correcting it somehow.
