i 've found a prog that records a latency. u are supposed to connect the out of a soundcard with the mic or line in. i didn't have the cable for that so i just have put mic and speaker together. result was between 74-89 ms. ( tried several times). then i made a click track, played it, and in a same way recorded another track ( mic close to speaker, direct monitoring from a sound card, yes the cheapest one, nvaudio). then i adjusted the delay of that track untill it sounded matched with the original one.the result was 58ms.
i ve made some recordings wiht that adjusment, and it worked ok. however, some stuff works better with a biggger delay (76ms).
does the actual latency depend on a nuber of vst used (thinking cubase) or is it constant?
did i delay the click track, when trying to find a match, enough to make a phase cancelletion and not the actuall match so i got false result?
or is my gutar playing so bad that it is imposibble to follow a beat?
if anyone has some info about this i would appreciate it.
thanx
sorry for my english but i am not understend what i am writing |

Lacency is caused by a poor soundcard (not a low lantency one) or by bad drivers. It's got nothing do with VST's and that sort of thing. Tell us what soundcard you have and what drivers you've got and someone might be able to tell you how to get rid of it.

thanx for reply.
i am using asio4all drivers and an integrated soundcard, so there will always be a big latency. i just have to find a way to measure it precisely.

why do you have to know it precisely? You should get rid of it, not know about it.
I installed m-audio drivers, which are my by the author of my soundcard and I got the it down to 12 ms. I'm sure you can do the same.
Just make sure that your music program uses the right driver, since it will often go for the windows one by default.
Where do you make your music in?

You should be able to get teh exact latency from the asio4all drivers panel in that case.
Some VST effects add extra latency to reduce CPU overhead. If you use cpu heavy (waves, ozone etc) or creative tools (dbglitch etc) try and look it up in the manual of the corresponding plugin. |

when you have a problem with latency, then it's never those VST's that add a littel buffer. It's always your soundcard or your drivers. It doesn't make sence to go and look for the really minor buffer that a VST makes.. atleast, I've never had any trouble with it.
