the UA interfaces are IMO way overpriced, and the plugins soon turn in to a money pit. You’ve only got to look at how many used ones are for sale to see how many people come to the same decision
Laptop Spec:
it has low latency monitoring mode, but with that engaged, and going through my OX, I can still sense a small amount of latency. I believe the OX introduces a few ms as well.
They've changed the design since I bought one though, so you have to check
Btw, I use something with more channels for recording, but the KA6 is/was a good entry point
I agree with Octatonic's points
my old system is a proper DSP HD Protools setup, but the modern plugins are no longer compatible, so I really miss low-latency live guitar DI recording
I just record from the AxeFx usually, as Jim demonstrated long ago
I like the idea of the philosophy "No need to reamp it if I can play it again anyway"
I could waste forever trying re-amps on everything
I also reamp more than just guitars, and I send things like digital synths & drums to outboard gear. You can also use VST FX in front of a real amp too, which opens up new areas of sonic experimentation.
Don't knock it until you have tried it
Your interface settings will have different buffer size settings. If you're already at the lowest setting and the audio is fine but there's too much latency for you then you need a new interface that offers lower latency.
But a more likely scenario will be that switching to the lowest buffer setting makes the audio glitch and crackle after only a few tracks and plugins are used. This is because the computer isn't fast enough to run at such a low latency so upgrading to a faster computer (with the same interface) would allow the workload to be done in time for the low latency.

These type of optimizations can have a significant impact on the glitch free latency you can achieve in a real world situation.
