DIFFICULT LATENCY PROBLEM
 

still pretty clueless elctronic musician here.

have a Delta 1010 soundcard.
PC computer running LOGIC 5.5. i have WINDOWS XP home edition.

i have gotten this setup after reading Tweeks GREAT OPINION of this setup.
certainly sounds great. BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have recently bought BATTERY 2, MICROTONIC drum softsynth.

I also have NOVATION DRUMSTATION, and the drum sounds off synths such as ROLAND XV-88, KORG TRITON.

to test the MIDI timing of softsynth drums vs hardware synths,
i have a kick drum playing every chrotchet beat on the followoing tracks.

BATTERY 2
MICROTONIC
ROLAND XV-88
TRITON
NOVATION DRUMSTATION.

unfortunately
ROLAND XV-88, TRITON and NOVATION DRUMSTATION
are sounding quite a deal behind the softsynths (BATTERY 2, MICROTONIC)

i infact have the hardware drumsynths playing at
these points in one bar which is looped.

1 1 1 1
1 2 1 1
1 3 1 1
1 4 1 1

i have to (via the event list editor) place the softsynth drums at these points of the bar

1 1 1 80
1 2 1 80
1 3 1 80
1 4 1 80

FOR THE HARDWARE and SOFTWARE to match.

crikees that seems an awful difference between the 2.

I use the MIDISPORT 8*8, for my hardware drumsynth sounds.
COULD THIS BE CAUSING THE PROBLEM, OR IS IT THE SOUNDCARD.

i know the LOGIC has an adjustment for audio and MID but this difference between softsynth and HarDWARE seems huge.

Is what i am experiencing, normal.

am i stuck , and need to get the UNITOR or the AMT midi interface, or is it the DELTA soundcard with its

I'd check the latency setting on your Delta card first. You can find this setting in the Delta control panel.
