I've been using Ableton 8 and an Axiom 25 controller on a Mac Mini with Native Instruments Razor for a couple of weeks now. It works really well on Mac. However, it was a CPU monster so I literally bought a new PC for the express purpose of running many channels with the Razor plugin . Now I'm getting midi latency.

Hello there, first-time poster here.

I have a DAW computer with an M-Audio Delta 1010LT PCI card that I've been recording with.

I record acoustic guitar and vocals, with both doubled and panned hard left and right to get a full, warm sound.

The only way I can get perfect 0-latency recordings is if I do this:

Hello, I've recently purchased a copy of Cakewalk's Sonar x1 Producer Edition to try to enhance my skills and move up. Cubase 5 just seemed like it was holding my hand the whole way so instead of upgrading to Cubase 6 I went with this. Anyway My Audio Interface is a M-Audio Fast Track Ultra my operating system is Windows 7 64 Bit Home Premium and I'm having some weird latency issues.

I understand what latency is, and I know it perfectly well when I have the monitor button in Cubase on, but what I am confused about is why very low latency should be an issue, like when software is marketed as having very low latency. It seems that Cubase applies whatever inherent latency there is across all tracks, and I have never had any problem tracking.

Hello world,

Thanks for reading this post. I am having some really weird latency issues using Cubase 5. Am using a Tascam US-1641 soundcard with a Dell Studio XPS 16 (2.4 C2D, 3GB DDR3, 320GB HDD). Seven out of the 8 mic inputs on the Tascam are being used for Drum recording and the 9th input (Instrument) is being used for guitar.

Latency is a measure of time delay experienced in a system. It refers to a short period of delay (usually measured in milliseconds) between when an audio signal enters and when it emerges from a system.

Hello, I have a Line 6 POD XT live which I record my guitar through into Fruity loops. Either when I'm recording or just playing through my computer I get significant latency. I can combat this by decreasing the buffer size, which lowers quality but severely lowers latency.

Does S/PDIF out disregard the sample buffer settings of an interface, and only have sample rate latency?
(e.g. 48kHz = 48sample buffer / 44.1kHz = 44.1 sample buffer)

In other words, say you have on-board sound with a S/PDIF out; If you send out a 44.1kHz audio stream to an external DAC, will the only latency be 1ms + External DAC latency?

I'm sure this has been discussed before. but I wanted to know if these latency numbers were good or bad.
I use an RME FF800 and this is what I see listed in Cubase in the Device Setup.
I have not tried lowering the sample buffer because it runs very well with these settings.
And I don't seem to notice this delay when I record.

Hi all - haven't posted here in quite some time. We're having a bit of an issue with a recording that maybe I can get some ideas about...
