The thing is that I get like 0.5 sec delay that's a lot. While playing the second note I hear the 1st note I hit previously. Do I need to buy some software or hardware to hear the sound almost at real time? Thanx for any advice given You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

If that doesn't work could be that you need a better sound card. Hope that will help you. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

A better sound card might do the trick. Thanks again You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I think it only enables 96000 sampling, Dejan could confirm that. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I used it also for some guitar recording, but the trouble was when I wanted to have more than one audio track with guitar rig inserted on each, then few midi tracks with vst's.. this card could not handle it so I had to move to M-Audio Audiophile 2496. For MIDI controller the Audigy will work fine, but if you plan to use like I mentioned above, you'll have to consider something better You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It worked great. Midi doesn't have any conversion and every midi controler is designed to work the same. It just sends a simple information to program. Because there is no conversion to audio signal the latency shouldn't be a problem with midi. There must be something in settings. I remember I had to change something in the keyboard setup and I was able to record. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Dec 2 2008, 11:34 AM	Instructor Posts: 3.035 Joined: 27-November 07 From: Sarajevo, Bosnia	I agree with you Emir to some point, MIDI input is not a problem here.. the latency appear when assigning VSTi to a MIDI channel since today's VSTi are actually real audio samples, and onboard audio cards cannot hadle it, especially if you have drums, bass and keys as VSTi, and also monitoring the recording track, while playing back the other tracks The easiest way to check if keyboard input is ok is to recording something simple with cubase metronome (not paying attention to latency), and then check in MIDI editor if the MIDI lines are aligned to the grid.. if the timing of MIDI lines is ok, then the keyboard input is ok, and the problem lies in reproduction. I also did not have any problem with 586 machine with SB AWE 32, but I was just using integrated general midi soundbank But that's only my opinion You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Dec 2 2008, 12:02 PM	Instructor Posts: 7.201 Joined: 14-July 08 From: London UK	Ok now I understand Dejan. Thanks for explanation. In this case i would record with integrated GM sounds and there should be no latency. It's not really fun to listen to these sounds but it can help in an emergency After I can apply VST instrument to the same track. He said he is using onboard sound card so he must have integrated GM.

Make sure you're using ASIO drivers in your recording suite as they run better and give a better latency value so you can record without the delay. I'm not sure whether it will still be bad with your onboard sound but it'll make it better. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Lol no that cheap about 30/40 the Audigy 2 zs. I'm bidding on one on Ebay. 16hrs remaining BTW The recording is fine I see the recorded tracks with a right timing it's just that I like to hear what I play with the shortest delay possible.
