Subject:record latency (BUG? Posted by: jardeano Date:3/17/2004 3:21:51 PM I'm using Acid Pro 4.0f with xp and a Tascam US-428 sound card.. whenever I record a softsynth (any) I'm getting About a 1/8 note latency ,,that is when I view the recorded data in the piano roll it shows late compared to how I played the note,,,,, I've have tried just about everything, I'm not new to computerized music composition.,,Now here is the intresting part ,,,this problem only happens when I'm using the ASIO drivers in Acid,,When I use the default sound drivers I don't get the record latency,,it records just how I played it..I pefer using Asio drivers because of the real time latency(it's better) Could somene try to replicate my situation and give some feed back? Record a softsynth in Acid using asio drivers and see how it shows up in the piano roll view..Thanks, any feedback would be helpful,,,this way I can narrow down the possibilities... already been through a useless discussion with tech support.....

Reply by: marcarotsky Date:3/17/2004 8:35:04 PM ok, this isnt a solution i apologize, but i have read MANY situations with this problem. and the same conclusion keeps coming up.... for some strange reason, acid doesnt like using ASIO drivers very much. i am hoping it is a bug that is being worked on for future updates and/or versions (hint hint, wink wink SONY!!!!) i had the problem, and it seems that the only way i was able to rectify it was to use standard drivers. some simple possibilities would be to make sure they are the most current ASIO drivers, make sure you have ALL your windows updates make sure you have the most updated driver for your video and make sure you have the most current updated driver for your MOBO (and current BIOS version). i noticed a SIGNIFIGANT improvement wheni flashed my BIOS to the newer version. (CAUTION: if you are not computer saavy, i would NOT RECOMEND flashing your BIOS by yourself. it can become pretty finicky!!) -marc

I remember a problem with M-Audio's Delta ASIO drivers when ACID Pro 4.0 was first released. M-Audio acknowledged it was their fault and fixed it.
