Subject:delay when using midi keyboard
Posted by: yayo

im trying to use my controller keyboard w/ acid but with every synth (including the DLS synth) there is a delay that makes it impossible to play/record at all comfortably. i can use the keyboard well with other apps, so my conclusion is that it's an acid problem, im using a SB live soundcard

it must be fixable since the keyboard works fine with other apps, what do i need to do?

Sounds like the old latency issue strikes again.

Unless one of the other folks can explain to you how to make latency adjustments on your SB Live card, I suggest you replace it with an ASIO capable audio card.

I saw alot user threads praising the M-Audio 24/96 so I bought one for my son's rig. So far so good without noticible latency for $79USD.

Where did you purchase it at this price?

Thanks,

Interesting, I checked their website and they're selling it for $149. You got one hell of a deal for $80! The best price I've seen has been in the $125-130 range.

I made my purchase in person because you can't negotiate or haggle with a website.

What other apps and synths are you using which have no latency?
