I Pretty sure that Focusrite via USB will have much more latency than Apollo via thunderbolt, I guess that overall latency of combined devices will be equal to latency of the slowest device in the chain.

Hello, thanks for doing this vid. I recently had a friend over to record her singing and I realized, how unprepared I was. I was trying to set her up in my makeshift vocal booth, but I couldnt do any real sound checking because I only had one set of headphones set up. I really needed to hear her levels, and hear the music, and the mix , but I realized im a dumbass. lol. I have an imac, using logic pro x. I use the Bose t4s interface on my mac. Now if im using that device to monitor sounds, and vocals in the DAW. I was thinking, I could use a second interface in the vocal booth. Would having my focusrite 2i2 in the vocal booth work for the headphone adjustments? No need for the headphone amp? Im going to combine the 2 interfaces by setting up an aggregate device.
