Hey, i'm new here, howzit?

I have an m-audio mobilepre (USB) that feeds my cakewalk homestudio. I find that latency tends to be a real pain. after every take, I have to go and re-align by hand so the timing matches up. would this be reduced significantly with a PCI soundcard? I don't want to spend the money if not.

what about MIDI? I'm about to start using midi to control my Alesis sr16 so its tempo matches up with cakewalk's, so I can use the looping features. is latency gonna be a problem there?

thanks
