MIDI latency problem

[HGardner]

Hi everyone,

I am desperately in need of some help with a MIDI latency problem I'm encountering. When I hit keys on my M-Audio Keystation 49e connected via USB, the sound coming through the speakers seems to have about a 200-400ms delay on it. This makes it impossible to use properly. I'm running Cubase SX3 on 32bit vista OS. However, I also only have a bog standard high definition soundcard which might not be helping. Changing parameters like the buffer rate in the ASIO menus does nothing too....gaah.

Could someone shed light on this v frustrating problem?

Cheers v much,

Harry

Sounds more like an audio latency problem. When you record and hit keys, do they appear where you hit them? If so, then its not a MIDI problem, its audio. The sound card is most likely the culprit, but I thought Cubase SX3 wasn't Vista compatible. This may add to your problems.

First try ASIO4ALL if you haven't (a Google search will help you find it). If this doesn't help, I think the only answer will be a pro sound card/interface.

Haven't tried recording MIDI yet, depressingly haven't got that far.

I will try ASIO4ALL to see if I have any joy and if not, new soundcard it is.

Many thanks for your help, much appreciated!

Happy recording,
