Delay in cubase when playing VST synths with my new midi controller!

[buzzman]

Just got a midi controller... But there is about a second in delay when pushing a note!? WHY???

 

I can see the parameter is reacting right away when i push a note, but the sound is coming about a second after... what to do, my wise compadres?

 

By the way, im using cubase sx3 if it makes any difference!?

Are you using asio drivers with low latency?

What soundcard do you have? DirectX is not the way to operate.

The trouble shooting in the cubase website said that i should switch to directx?

 

Im using a standard pc soundcard... It is better than on my old computer, but i know its nothing special... Is that the reason!? But i think i figured it out, i pushed the "expert" button in the "VST audiobay" menu in "device setup". And chose the "multi processing" button and the "adjust for record latency" Now it works, but i don't feel 100% right!

 

But do i have to buy a audiocard? You know it's a lot of money, and i wouldn't call myself the new Ace ventura if you know what i mean, so is it even nessesary with a good audiocard?

You can do with your soundcard probably. Try Asio4All. Be sure to read about it, how it works etc. No you dont need a super card, and you can get pretty cool soundcards below the 100euro mark. I would not rush into things though, if you dont know if this is for you or not. Having native ASIO drivers and a proper card, really DOES help though

I've played with fl studio and reason for a couple of years now, but i don't know any other people who make music as well, so im still pretty dumb:)

 

Everything i know, i have learned from myself...

 

But Asio4all you say... I'll look it up thanks

 

And can you recommend me an audiocard for below 100euros? Think i can find that kinda money, i thought it was way more expensive.

 

Edit.: It have to be external, im using a laptop Is that for below 100euros to?
