Delay when recording audio

Post by Jimmy Gibson »

Is there a way to get rid of the millisecond delay when you pick a string when recording a guitar or steel track with a BIAB track?
I am using BIAB 12.5.


Thanks Jimmy.

"Latency" is what that is called.

Most computer sound cards have poor latency.

A separate USB recording interface unit will do much better for you. The Focusrite (a UK company) Scarlett 2i2 is a popular and relatively inexpensive recording interface unit. There are many other similar USB devices. MAudio, Presouns, Alesis, etc.

Hi Jimmy, try going into "Opt." in menu then click on "preferences" then on "audio" then "soft synth latency adjust".
