Omar, Have you gone to your audio settings and run the wave profiler on your audio card? Dave Composed on a Dell Latitude 630 in the general vicinity of my Audio Recording and Mixing Studios, San Jose, California ----- Original Message ----- From: "Omar Binno" <omarbinno@xxxxxxxxx> To: <ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, December 12, 2010 11:48 Subject: [ddots-l] Re: latency problem Gord, This problem occurs in a new project with nothing loaded. The template consists of 16 midi tracks with no synths initially loaded or saved in the template. As soon as I load the first synth and play it i get laytency. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gordon Kent" <dbmusic@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, December 12, 2010 2:38 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: latency problem > Hello: > The playback i/o buffer setting controls how much data is chached when > reading from your hard drive.
