Latency Issues

Post by 9white5 » Wed Aug 06, 2014 5:43 am

Hi guys, this is becoming a huge nuisance with my music production. I'm not 100% sure if this is latency, but when i try to play something on the computer keyboard theres about a second delay before actually hearing it. The same delay is there when i play my arrangements, I tried changing buffer size to 32 samples, which didnt fix the issue, and turning off delay compensation doesnt help either. The delay gets worse as the project gets bigger, but my cpu is only at around 25% when it starts becoming a problem. Any ideas on what the problem might be? Thanks! :)
