it was.   but please explain more on this topic.  are you saying that 
for recording, that low setting is correct, but for playback it 
should be higher?  what about when overdubbing and one needs low 
latency while playing back tracks and recording new tracks at the 
same time?

I have a Delta 1010LT.   I set it to 2048 (tried 4096 but jack would 
not start) and still got glitches, though fewer.   I've got a gverb 
plugin on 2 channels, both bypassed, enabling them doesn't make much 
difference, except during a parameter drag it will usually glitch.

thanks
