Guest Jerome Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 At present, I'm running Reason with ASIO drivers with a Soundblaster live card on a PIII 550 with 192 mb ram. Despite everyone boasting about how great ASIO drivers are, I can't get a latency of under about 50-60ms. Is this normal? I find the Direct Sound drivers give me a latency of about 20-30ms which is far more suitable, but I've heard that with ASIO you can get a latency of about 5-6ms! How would I reconfigure it? I've tried looking at the control panel, but I don't have a clue what to touch. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Jerome PS - Playback is fine, but I'm keen to cut latency down when I'm playing keyboard along with a track... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shpongled Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 Every soundcard has their own Asio drivers..... so it depends how good your soundcard is. I don't have SB but i've heard that somebody has coded unofficial special drivers for SB live whitch should cut down the latency....... so try to look for those drivers.

Guest Jerome Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 Yep - my apologies for doing this, but when I tried to post it came up with the lovely microsoft "Cannot find server" page... so I kept retrying. When I finally came back to the page I found out that it did find the server... many times.. and my computer was being a lying bast***. Sorry.

Guest Reece Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 hi jerome, "...Every soundcard has their own Asio drivers..." ummmm, no. especially a soundblaster, no asio there thats for sure! i dont use reason but im wandering what asio driver u are using for it??? possible steinbergs direct x to asio one??? anyways, if u are getting latency as low as u say u are on a soundblaster, i wouldnt be complaining!!! im using sb live plat. 5.1 in logic with latency at 180 thats as low as i can go b4 the audio drops out or snap, craqcles and pops! the direct sound drives are better because they were designed for the sound card! yes, there are cracked aps driver for sb, u can find em at: http://come.to/sblive but use em at your own risk!!!!! it crashed my rig completely and had to reformat....... good luck! drop me a line if u got anymore q.'s re_psycle@yahoo.com :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shpongled Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 Reece... I didn't mean that every soundcard in the world has Asio drivers.... I ment that the ones whitch have them are not the same drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest monno Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 the solution is simple and unfortunately costs money the creative family is not really cut out for music production, although they provide good starting points. i can strongly recommend the m-audio line of cards even their cheapest ones are relatively fair priced and have very low latency+very well written asio drivers.
