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! |

Quite right, anyone proficient enough with one app will be able to get the work done no matter what the program is. It'i just a question of finding the one that suits you best...

So do these last few posts mean that all apps have the same latency problems? So, from me hitting a note to me hearing it will be the same? I'm really making that my number one priority in choosing software/hardware combo because I agree, of the top three apps, I could use any of them to make music comfortably - I just can't play when there's latency.

Not exactly it means that audio interface is one source of the latency problems. And so are the different programs. Depending on how well they handle audio stream they will cause more or less latency.

Sorry I'm late... But if some of you still wonder about what latency is and how it "appears", there was a quite interesting test made by a fellow member of the DUC (Digidesifn User Conference)...It's pretty clear and gots diagramms (which can help).
Here's the link to the test: http://pages.sbcglobal.net/ccash/latency.htm And here's the discussion that followed: http://duc.digidesign.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/u...t=014719#000000 Hope that will help clearing things up a little. -------------------- |
