Subject:Latency Posted by: bizzare321 Date:11/13/2008 7:35:29 AM Hello, I'm new to the Acid forum and would like to introduce myself and ask a question. I just purchased a pc from Rain Recording with a presonus firebox for my personal use and plan to eventually do some live recording with my 4 piece band. I also have a custom guitar refinishing business for my other creative side. My question is when I try to record my guitar part over a drum loop, the sound is a bit behind. This is only happening in my Acid Music Studio 7.0 software... There is no latency issue with other software I'm using. Can anyone help me with this issue? Thank you, Lou www.Bizzareguitars.com

Subject:RE: Latency Reply by: DKeenum Date:11/14/2008 8:11:14 AM ASIO drivers have the lowest latency. You can set this under "options/audio." At least I think thats the way you do it in Music Studio.
Subject:RE: Latency Reply by: Gastrok Date:11/25/2008 12:53:28 PM I also use the Presonus FireBox and I do not have any noticeable latency. If you're using an input bus to record your guitar you should try lowering the fader on the Presonus mixer for the channel you're using (probably "Mic In 1"). Put it all the way to zero. I think that the clean signal sometimes bleeds through at the two signals are not 100% in sync and you hear an echoy effect.
