no better latency than 20ms on pc with emi 2/6 and winxp sp1

[MM]

hello,

I'm running live on my pc (athlon 1400, 512 ram)
my audio interface is a emi 2/6 (via usb)
If I try to chage the latency below 20 ms it sounds terible....

in other applications like cubase sx / logic audio it's no problem to work with latency of 6 ms !!!!!!

of course I'm using the same Asio devie in every program !!

i hope you can help me!!


cheers,
MM

wellll . . . i am, in fact, getting 10ms latency with the emi on a pc/xp laptop (toshiba satellite / p4).

you guys do know that there's a line of code you need to add to the liveOptions.txt file, right? if not, here it is:

(and enter this exactly as follows)

-AsioSupportProcessNow=1


works for me.



Hope this helps

great!! many thanks !!!


it works !! I'm so happy !!


first I couldn't find the file but then I just created

a simple txt file and named it liveoptions.txt and saved it at \\ableton\preferences\


and it worked !!!

not a problem MM ... by the way.. im about to be purchasing a pc laptop pretty soon.. just wanted to know what you think about the amd athlon laptops vs. pentium 4's...

also.. what latency are you getting now?

thanks

How is emi 2/6 performing on Macintosh Powerbooks (G3/G4) in terms of latency and sound quality, stability... eny users ?

hello neil,

i'm using an ibm r32 thinkpad 1,6 ghz p4 256 mb ram
and everyrthing is running fine now ... at 6 ms with the emi interface...

in my studio I'm using live on an athlon 1400 mhz and I have no problems either... I think the most important thing is to have a working os without to many crap installed at the same time....


cheers
