Help with latency issues after upgrading computer
Posted: Sun Jun 18, 2017 3:35 am
I recently upgraded from an old 2012 macbook pro to a 17' HP Omen, as the mac has almost had it after 5 years. The new laptop is a fairly powerful gaming computer, and handles anything else I throw at it extremely well, but trying to run Ableton with a Novation Launchkey 49 MIDI keyboard and a guitar running through a BOSS ME-80 multi effects pedal/interface, there is always a great deal of delay between what I'm playing and what I hear. Trying to reduce buffer sizes and latency settings only ends up with crackle so bad anything I play pretty much sounds like static. I've looked through heaps of related forums and tried anything I can think but nothing seems to fix it. I'm not running anything super high end, just trying to get one MIDI track or one audio track to work but nothing is working... If anyone has any ideas that might help I'm willing to try anything, as there is no reason the OMEN shouldn't be able to handle
