Chris,thanks. All is well now. You are right, my processor is 2Ghz. I was half asleep when I wrote the message. Any way, the problem has been resolved. I have dropped my sample rate to 1024 and now my latency level is around 12 something. I stopped using the "Room Works" plugins. They were causing the Performance Meter to do all kind of crazy things. I now use Kjaerhus plugins the plugins are free and gives me all I need for my vocals.
