Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

I would say that anything above the 128 setting affects you playing seriously but it's still possible but not great to get by with 256, 512 and above forget it.
What also matters is that some people play by ear and adapt to the latency which in computer terms is bad because after the compensation you will sound like you were drunk while recording. On the other hand if you play "without ears" you can get by with rather large buffersettings.
Personally I still have a G5 (come on Apple, how hard can it be to renew the lineup after 13 months) and I can't wait to get a new setup where I can get down to 64 or maybe even 32, I play way too much by ear for my own good.

  If you go to the audio preferences in Logic, you can set the latency in 
  samples and it gives the corresponding millisecond delay. 1024 buffer 
  size gives 46 ms delay latency for audio recording. I am not sure if 
  that is just into the computer, or roundtrip but if you are recording 
  yourself you always mute the audio track on Logic and find some way to 
  feedback the original signal to your headphones to mix it in with what 
  you are hearing in logic (the beats and backing tracks - not what you 
  are recording). So if its roundtrip that would be 92 ms. I think you 
  can hear delays as short as 10 ms. And I find that 20 ms delays mess me 
  up in playing a midi keyboard where it feels slow.
