Question about ASIO buffer size and latency compensation

Hey, I'm trying to record guitar and vocals with a tascam us-144 and fruity loops, and I've been using ASIO4all as a driver. A few quick questions...
What does "ASIO Buffer size" mean?
What does "Latency compensation in/out" do?
What does "Use Hardware Buffer Do"?
Lastly does anyone know how to get it so there no delay when I'm trying to record? It's kind of distracting.
Thanks for dealing with all my noob questions lol.

Jan 30, 2009 01:52 pm The buffer size directly effects latency. Lower settings reduce your latency but also taxes your CPU more, you must find the happy medium between them. Common settings for capture are 256 or 512. When mixing, you can turn the buffer up which reduces CPU overhead and allows you to add more FX etc...
Latency compensation was something I used in Older Adobe apps. It would determine the latency and adjust as needed. I believe this was common with Direct Sound Full Duplex type cards vs. the a true ASIO interface.
You would definitely want to use the hardware buffer, the memory built into your soundcard\interface.
To get rid of the delay, lower your buffers as far as you can until your computer starts to struggle (pop\click). Do this from inside your reocrding application. Wherever you select the interface it should also allow you to manipulate the buffers.
