Description

A JACK utility for measuring round-trip latency through an audio interface. It helps musicians, engineers and audio administrators check whether input and output timing matches the needs of recording or live processing.

Use it with a known loopback setup and controlled JACK configuration. Results depend on hardware, buffer settings and cabling, so document the test conditions.
