![]() Thank you and that's the project for today. Watching the MIDI IN indicator of the MIDI Activity monitor that Cakewalk places in the Windows System Tray by default will help with that. Also possible, but highly unlikely, is that there's actually a delay in the synth's reponse, which would be indicated by a delay between the MIDI and Audio meter reponse.Īnd, finally, it's also possible that your MIDI controller keyboard or port drive has a problem. But, as Steve said, its far more likely that you'll see both the MIDI and audio meters register immediately, and the delay in hearing the sound is audio latency. So if there's actual MIDI latency, you should see a a delay between hitting the key and seeing the MIDI meter react at essentially the same time as the audio meter. MIDI track meters are always metering the ouput even when the track is armed to record. ![]() To confirm where the latency is, all you need to do is insert the synth using separate MIDI and Audio output tracks (or show the MIDI tab of a Simple Instrument track in the Inspector), and watch the meters when you play. So you haven't had any luck moving synths to the synth rack? If storage space is not an issue, and your disk(s) are fast enough to support it, try this. This will greatly reduce latency, but the cost will be much larger audio files when recording. If the audio starts to break up or you get dropouts, you've lowered them too far or your PC needs more optimizations. It reallydepends on whether the built-in midi interface works well enough to put your midi notes where you play them on the piano roll. However, this latency is generally pretty small and may not be worth the cost of additional hardware. They are not all created equal and, in many cases, a stand-alone midi interface will have better response times than one built-in to an audio interface. Midi latency can only be changed by using better midi interfaces. Audio latency is the time that it takes for the DAW to trigger the sound you want from the midi signal that was received, and then actually hear it. ![]() ![]() Midi latency is the time it takes for the midi signal to go from your keyboard, though the midi interface and then be recognized by your DAW. There are two forms of latency that could be affecting you, one you can't do much about, the second, you can, but it has a price.
