ok, tracked down the source of the latency - NI Spektral Delay. just putting it in one of the return channels causes masses of latency - even when it's off

shame...cos it's really nice

mech - i've just tried your multiple returns method in Live... one plugin in each return and using the sends to pass the audio around the mixer - very nice. one problem though - as soon as i send audio through any of the returns (even one with no plugins in it) i get masses of latency all of a sudden....have you noticed this? and is there a cure?

What?!? That's utterly bizarre.  No, I've never noticed any latency via the Return channels, in any of the versions of Live I've run.  It should all be taking place through digital bussing, so I wouldn't imagine any delay beyond perhaps the single sample level.

What version of Live are you running, and what does your hardware/software configuration consist of?  Anything else loading down the computer's CPU at the same time, perhaps?  This sounds weird....
