I'm a novice and need help. I have a Win XP computer with athlon 2400 processor 1.99 ghz with 224 ram. My midi controller is emedia. I'm connected with an Audiotrak midi mate usb midi cable. The sound card is Realtek AC 97. My problem is there is a slight delay from the time I hit the keys until it is sounded. Any ideas on what I can do?
I don't know if this is your prob too, but this was mine. I was use "Microsofte Wavetable" as my "out" for the midi. When I switched it to a VST instrument (Universal Sound Modules) it solved it.
I noticed that my midi I/O meters in Cubase where working fine when I hit the key on the piano, but the "sound" was delayed. So the prob was that the cheap set-up of Windows default midi device, was taking too long to process the MIDI info.
Hope this helps
BTW, does anyone recommed some good MIDI sounds? Where can I get some? The general ones are stinky. Thanks
