I'm not sure how to overcome this... I'm using Reaper, and the controller is a Novation X-Station. not sure if there is any other info I can give. I am able to process my guitar through gearbox software, and record in Reaper just fine, no latency (that I can hear). So I'm not sure why this is a problem any tips/tricks? thanks! -Chris You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

However I do have a thought! Make sure Reaper (in the preferences is using the correct driver.) Like when you set up your guitar to use the ASIO driver.

Maybe it will help hmmm I don't know what ASIO is, all I know is that it stands for audio sound input output, or something like that. But your comment made me go into my audio device settings and look for the word "ASIO" and (I dont really know what these terms are) my "audio system" was set to "waveout" but ASIO was an option, so i selected that, and different options came up, I saw something about "thread priority" so I though it might be a good idea to set that to "highest" (later I changed it to "timing critical") and I also checked off a box that read "pre-zero output buffers ... (higher CPU usage)" so I checked that off too thinking it would help... and it did no (noticeable) latency now! but would you mind explaining any of the above?? All I know how to do is tinker with things that look like they might help... I have no idea what I was doing -Chris You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

What you clicked on after that and how it fixed your problem I really don't know. I'm glad things are working though. See you around You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
