Realtek HD Audio is the worst audio device possible. I have it with my motherboard and recording was totally impossible with it. So i bought "Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty" which has a great front panel for connecting line-in and midi devices.
Using Asio4All driver gives me almost no latency in values (12ms) and to your ear it's no latency at all. I know people at GMC use all kind of sound cards so they will post their suggestions here. When buying a sound card make sure it is ASIO compatible -------------------- "It isn't how many years you have been playing, it's how many hours." -- Prashant Aswani "PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!" -- Michael Angelo Batio Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |

Realtek is actually good - but the HD series are bad

If I may add,audio card only offers you to set latency/buffer size
but CPU and RAM are those who suffer. Lower latency means higher buffer and more job for CPU and RAM,am I right guys? -------------------- Youtube

Never had problems with that actually Dunno.... Well,lets say you have 5 VSTs and 10 audio tracks in song,playing all together. Change latency and you'll see difference in CPU usage bar(in Cubase far left on transport bar). -------------------- Youtube

Muris is right. Sound card is important. That Realtek soundcard is pathetic to be honest. Pretty much anything is better but if you have a lower latency it ups the CPU usage dramatically and also the more tracks you want the more it ups it again so you really need a Dual Core processor to be honest realistically for recording properly. I work quite nice with 2.8 Ghz and 2 GB Ram, sometimes I have more then 20 audio tracks and tons of VSTs/plug-ins. And here's what I do,a small trick. When I need real time record monitoring,usually when playing Midi keys with sound from HD, I set latency at about 20msec which is more than enough to play without disturbing. But as soon as I record it a switch latency up to 60-70msec to make it easy on CPU. -------------------- Youtube

I have a song in progress with around 16 tracks - filled with VSTi but never had any problems - i have DualCore 2.13 processor and 2Gigs of RAM.
Also - my sound card has built in 128MB of RAM. -------------------- "It isn't how many years you have been playing, it's how many hours." -- Prashant Aswani "PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!" -- Michael Angelo Batio Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |

Today everybody has a computer powerful enough for some basic recording - and even beyond that so i think the sound card is the issue in 98% of cases

An eksternal "soundcards" with FireWire will also take the pressure of a CPU i guess? Well I guess so. If you want to hear all efxs from track/channel while recording in "real" time than it has to be processed by CPU. -------------------- Youtube

No worries man, just buy a cheap Audigy SE soundcard and it will do the job for a while. Generally you need a better sound card, and you can find it today for ~100e even.
