latency for newbie

[flip]

Hello,I am new to this forum and i have a question .

I hope somebody can answer this question.

I am newbie on Logic so don't shoot me.

I have a new iMac quad core 2.5/ i5/ 4g with lion 10.7.1 and a audio interface from cakewalk ua g1 (asio)

I want to buy Logic 9.

I don't use any gear out of the box for recording in Logic like example hardware synths or guitar.

Now when i only use logic itself with the instrument plugins and maybe other vst'i

how far or hard can i go without having latency ?

And when i do have latency ,what can i do about that ?

Can it be that when i don't use outboard gear i will not have that latency ?

Oh yeah i also using a midi keyboard (oxygen).

I hope someone is nice and kind enough to react on my newbiequestion.

You shouldn't have problems with latency while playing your midi keyboard.

So you know, Logic uses Audio Units for plugins and software instruments, VST is for Nuendo/Cubase and the Windows world.

ASIO is also Windows, so make sure you have the correct OSX Lion driver for your cakewalk interface.

Ow,oke I'm learning stuff here.

So I shouldn't have probs with latency when I use the Logic instruments.

And what with New York Compression inside Logic?

Is that possible without having latency?

Thank You so much for the reaction on my newbie questions.

I will upload my profile soon and join the big logic forum .
