Old system:
I have been using EZDrummer on an older laptop Dell D610 with Windows 32 Bit, Ezdrummer, a Firewire PC Card, and an M-Audio Firewire 410. With this configuration, I have had very low latency.
New System:
I just received a new laptop. A Dell Lat. E5510 with a Core i3 CPU 2.5 Ghz. It is much faster than the old system. I have Windows 7 64 Bit, 4GB RAM. This new laptop has a PC Card slot like my old one. I removed my Firewire PC Card from the old system, put it in the new system. I downloaded the latest driver for the M-Audio FireWire 410. I installed EZDrummer from the original CD, then I downloaded the latest TT Solo, installed 64 Bit. Then I installed the 32 bit update for EZdrummer 1.2.1 and then applied the 64 bit Ezdrummer update. I authorized after applying the updates when I first started up Solo.
The Firewire 410 is working, Ezdrummer is working with the Firewire 410, drum kits load much faster than the old system.
The problem is that the latency is too high and I am getting a delay. I went into Solo and set the latency to 64 and I set the M-Audio to 64. I am still getting a 100 ms or more delay and I can’t play the drum triggers and get a low latency. Other than that it’s working.
It seems like it is using the WDM drivers for the FireWire and not the ASIO drivers. I don’t see them listed separately from solo.
Any ideas? I did not install the M-Audio drivers from CD, only from the web.
The laptop has a integrated Firewire port, so I may try to use that instead.
