Delay on Keyboard
    #7221298 -

I've had a keyboard now for a while for my computer, a real simple M-Audio one. The only problem is that whenever i try to play to something i've already made, there's a delay. So it's impossible to play with anything i've made, or even a metronome, because i'm perfectly on, but it takes however long to send the signal and then the play back is screwed up, so that in turn screws me up, hearing what i shouldn't be hearing.

Any suggestions? How do people normally play hooked through a computer? Is this is just a problem with my 1) slow ass computer, 2) cheapo keyboard or 3) both?

I love music so much, and i can't just sit there and click the buttons to sequence bullshit all day, that's not what music is about.

well when you plug you keyboard into your computer are you using some sort of soft synth to produce sounds?(I'm assuming your using midi)

what computer program are you using to record with?, you will have to adjust the latency settings within the program, you should be able to get a delay(latency) that is small enough that you'll not notice a delay at all.

your computer should be able to handle it, if it's fairly modern.

Make sure you're using the M-audio driver and not the generic OS driver. Mess around in the prefs until you find the driver page.

PC or Mac? What software?

Are you saying there's a delay between pressing a key and hearing the note? Or, a delay on previously recorded tracks?

Yeah, i'm using ableton and reason with a midi keyboard. and yeah, the delay is when i press a note, it takes an amount of time to be played back to me. this is on a pc

i'll check the driver right now, and latency eh? So that would be a preference in ableton or reason right? I'll check all that out right now.

you need to check your soundcards latency settings

the lower you can set them the less delay you'll have. you can probably change those settings within your music making program

I had problems with latency too, but then I bought myself this audio card.

It cost about $100 and I haven't had any problems with creating music ever since. Even if my cpu use is high in the sky the sounds still come out clear.

Well that's the thing, i have a fairly ok sound card. I think what the problem is is my computer. I have trouble running anything modern these days. Thanks for the responses though fellas!
