I don't understand how people deal with latency in DAWs. I have cubase
which I am just getting into, but even the lowest latency seems to involve
recording inacurracies. How do you guys deal with it..... I'm having a
tough time understanding how to monitor what I'm playing against what's
been recorded and have it come out in sync. I know it's all a function of
the sound card and drivers, and I have the ASIO drivers for the sound card
etc.... and when I hear the direct signal and the signal from cubase it
sounds like a chorus effect. I also know about offsetting the recording a
certain number of samples to sync with what's already there, but all this
seems to be troublesome considering the advanced nature of the software and
the fact that my cheap little Roland vs880 never had any latency problems,
even though it had other serious limitations. Do all DAWs have this issue?
which software/hardware has the lowest?
Robert,
Check your soundcard to see if it has a built-in mixer. The hardware
mixer on the sound card allows you to loop back the track you're playing
without going through Cubase, but mixed with the Cubase mix you're playing
against. I know this sounds confusing, but this is probably why you've
missed it.
