Access Virus TI Latency
 

I just got my hands on an Access Virus TI and I love it. Seems I am having some trouble with latency though. In the past, I have used all soft synths and never encountered this kind of problem. When I play back a single 4/4 kick against anything I do in the virus, it always seems something is off no matter how I position things. I have tried using direct monitoring on the virus and using the control software. Currently I am using a Sonica Labs DAW with a 3.0 Intel Core2 Duo, 3.25 Gigs of Ram. I use Ableton Live 6 as my sequencer. Input/Output latency is set at 40ms. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

your latency of 40ms is definitely on the high side. Anything over 30ms becomes recognizable. Can you get it down without glitches?

I got the input latency down to 2.67ms, and out output latency to about 12ms, for a rough total of about 15ms. Anything below this and there is audible distortion. This seems to help a bit.
