Help needed for newbie (Cubase LE4 LATENCY)

Posted on

Member Since: Jan 30, 2009

Really hoping you guys can help as I am close to throwing all my gear into the local river.

I am running:

PC

M-Audio Ozonic
into a choice of the following software
Cubase LE4
Logic 5.5 Platinum

I also have Guitar Rig 3...

The problem I have is massive amounts of latency when using a single channel.

Signal:
Guitar > Ozonic > Software

I "think" I have the ASIO Direct Sound Full Duplex setup, it certainly there in my system and looks like:

The buffer size samples are as low as they will go.. unchecking full duplex and start input first just means I have no sound anywhere.

So why do I have zero latency if going into just guitar rig 3 on its own (ie Cubase or Logic not open) then as soon as I put in one of the softwares the latency appears big time - we are talking 200-300ms.

I have ZERO knowledge so ANY advice welcome.

One post per issue please :) Members more than not go straight to the community page which shows us all recent activity, not just one section.

Soooo... if you post it under recording, mixing, hardware it does not matter as we will see it all the same (and double posts as well).

As stated in your other post, I will check it out when I get home after work.

You need to set the buffer size in the M-Audio control panel and then chose ASIO (not DirectX) in Cubase or Logic. I'm guessing the panel you're using is to set things for Windows sounds and games, not the true ASIO driver that apps like Cubase etc, are going to use.

Thanks and sorry for the double post, I thought I'd initially posted in the wrong forum.

I am not sure if I have the true ASIO driver installed, where do I find it? where should it go?

For the M-Audio control panel, is this it?

If so, what should the buffer rate be?

How do I choose ASIO in Cubase or Logic?

Thanks and sorry for my extreme stupidity in all these matters.

You can go here. www.m-audio.com/index.php...&OS=15#tabs

They have the most recent driver released in 2008 for the unit htere.

You want to be using ASIO for sure. WDM at the very least.

And your buffer setting in Cubase or Logic should be set to 128 to start with. That will give you lower latency for sure.
