[bato_82]

I am using fast track pro and ableton 6
I recorded in audio track and playback it, however it had always delay sound although i did not use any effect.
What's wrong with it, can you explain it to me and how to solve this problem
Thanks

Need to know more about your computer and how you have it set up with Fast Track. Sounds like a latency issue. Tell us as much as you can.

I use Laptop Dell Vostro 1400 (CPU 7250, Ram 2G, VGA 8600), window XP professional pack2.
I recorded my guitar directly to fast track pro.
When I record my I/O is audio from: Ext in (1/2); monitor off, audio to Master.
However there is always latency sound when i playback the track i recorded. It really makes me confuse.
Thanks for reply Cailyn.

Try setting the monitor to AUTO.

In preferences, are you using ASIO drivers? In most cases, using a computer sound card for playback can result in significant latency.

Set the minimum number of buffers necessary to get sound without drop outs.
