Latency

Gumption · Feb 5, 2004, 06:25 PM

Im running Nuenco with an audigy sb0090 card, and can only get acceptable perfomance at 80 ms. Any suggestions for getting the latency down? Nothing running in taskbar.

Are you sure to have the kx driver selected in the audio config?

Select KX ASIO and not KX MULTIMEDIA drivers.

celeron 700. i doubt you can get it below 80ms

I do agree for the Celeron chip. I use an old PIV 1.7 GHz with 384 Mb of Rambus and it handles 5,33 ms without any cracks using 4 to 6 polyphonic vsti.

im using an athlon xp 3200+ w/ 768 mb ram, with an async clock setting, 400/333 and sometimes get cracks n pops at the lower settings… but i don't do much recording, so using vsti instruments at even 100ms would work for me

A Celeron 700 should rock.

I am running a Celeron 466 with 256mb RAM and a 7200rpm 80gig h/d with Windows XP Pro using an SBLive! 5.1 powered by kX and with Nuendo1 or Live2 I get acceptable performance for most stuff at 10ms. For playing a VSTi solo, or along with one or two tracks, I can go down to 5ms or even 2ms and for a big multitrack I might have to go out to 20ms but never more than that.

I am actually playing my MIDI keyboard through the crappy onboard soundcard's MIDI port and it runs just as well as my MAMSQ16 running into the SBLive.

That said, try Gigastudio with the kX GSIF driver. This truly rocks because the sound quality and latency of Gigastudio is amazing. My celeron does struggle running Nuendo and Gigastudio when I get over four or five MIDI tracks but with Gigastudio this still allows me to do a hell of a lot and with amazing sound quality. I can't stress enough how amazing this software is. Pity it's a no-save demo version. I'll have to save up some $$$ to get me a copy.

I think a 700 is very fine. In your system's properties, try switching priority to background services instead of applications. Oh and only activate as many asio channels as necesary in nuendo (2in 2 out runs a whole lot faster than 16-16)

also try closing every unneccesary program, like msn, or quicktime, to free up system resources, also the problem could be your hard-drive not being fast enough to read/write
