How to reduce latency from Akai MPK25 / ZoomH4n ?

Post by Rammon » Wed Aug 03, 2011 11:00 am

Hi,

I have Akai MPK25 and ZoomH4n, which function perfectly. The problem I have is that they are connected throu USB to my Laptop (which means to my internal sound card, which is definately not for recording music). That's why I have about 0.5 second latency, which is too much.

I am aware that I need some type of audio-interface/soundcard, but what should I choose? I went to a music shop and asked, but I think the guys there didn't really help me.

Second questions: As I am with only USB inputs, if I buy an external usb soundcard, wouldn't be there also latency through it?

Thanks.

I appreciate help 8)
