I'm in an area that I don't know too much about. Integrating a soft synth into ACID 4.0. I think I've got everything installed just fine. The problem is serious latency. I'd read about this, but figured it might not be too bad... wrong. The setup is...

PIII 733 Mhz
Windows 98me
AudiomediaIII card
Acid 4.0
Sampletank

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Hi RM, Corny again with a latency question.
I have a DMXR100 mixer and a HDR24/96. They

Greetings,

one thing i have never quite understood is the concept of reduring the latency you hear (through headphones i would assume) when overubbing onto a whole lotta tracks. obviously the computer has to do a lot of stuff to kee up with the info flow..but i am trying to get my head around the hardware fix.

I've gleaned from Greg and Nika that if the Digi interfaces are really top notch the sample rates for getting audio into PT should not make any difference.

As running sessions at 96kHz is best
for the plugin quality, it makes sense to record at 96kHz then, even though the audio sampled should sound the same at 48kHz - it saves upsampling.

Can you track a band into Nuendo with just interfaces ? Or do you have to crap around with a console to 'work round' latency - for pre converter headphone sends...

In other words is PT still in the lead or has Nuendo caught up?

Hi, everyone.

I have been considering an 001 purchase for awhile now. I would have to buy a new Mac, plus all the fixin's.

Hi guys,

I came across this really awesome study by GRAME http://www.grame.fr/ on Linux/Microsoft/Apple kernel latencies.

Very informative! here's the link:

Howdy all,

The program that I mainly use for multi-tracking, Cool Edit Pro, has a preference option that lets you program in an assigned latency for various soundcards you might use. Pretty cool, However,. .

I have just spent a few hours trying to figure out exactly how much said latency is for each of the several cards and converters that I use.

My test is this:

:( Is that what steinberg call a solution? If I use Battery as stand alone sampler I can solve this by decreasing buffer size, and everything's OK. I own a PIII 500 MHz 256MB RAM. Any thoughts? Help!
Capi

what kind of latency could i expect from a MOTU 1224 or 1296 on a powermac g4 dual 533, 256Mb RAM (to start) and running ASIIO-compliant software (either DP or cubase). eventually, i plan on upgrading to an ultra160 SCSI controller and drives; will this affect latency or only affect track count?
