I'm setting up from scratch and the number one complaint I had about my old system (like 6 years ago) was massinve playing latency. I hit a note on the piano and by the time the virtual instrument (sample cell at the time) played back, it was very delayed. I'm not going to erase 20 some odd years of practice and get used to that.
So! how do I avoid it? Is it the software, the hardware, the VST, the audio input, the midi input? What are good combinations? Can I avoid latency on a Powerbook? I'd love to use a 17" G4, but would be willing to buy a dual proc. if necessary. Specific equipment recommendations are helpful. Preferably recommendations that mention which software they work with best. (Please don't make this into a which software is best thread though, that's not my concern_/ thanks in advance! |

I was pretty gung ho for performer at first, especially when I saw the mach five and thought a homogenus solution would be the way to go. But... when I had a chance to play with it at my friends studio - even with him loving it and answering questions, I wasn't sure I liked it more than SX... I didn't have a block against it like Logic (which I may eventually use, but will probably wait until Apple redesigns the interface totally).
I may need to give DP a look. my biggest reservation about SX is that it can seem a little bit hacked together at times. I don't really mind the idea of switching software, that's why i want to make sure I get hardware which will work for anything. but back onto the track of latency - the 424PCI cards would require a tower, right? so a tower is the only way to go to get the lowest latency? |
