Re: Latency in Solo w/ EZD

[Mark Farrell]

Well rogue i dont know what to say. I used toontrack solo last year at the Brisbane QPAC theater in Australia live on this exact same setup, nothing has been added or changed on the signal path. I used it at the Queen Street Mall in solo mode as well, again with no problems whatsoever. I used to use it as a plugin in pro tools for live purposes, but didnt like to risk it, as even without rec just having the track rec armed i would get the occasional hicup for about half a sec once every now and again (a pro tools issue). I found i didnt have this issue when i went into toontrack Solo so i kept at that. I have always used and MBOX 1 on winxp laptop, going midi out from my TD-20 into an edirol MIDI/USB cable, then through superior 2.0. I am absolutly baffled at whats happened. And also baffled at how you say with an MBOX 1 you get 512 buffer settings in Toontrack Solo, I have used this in the past with 128 buffer settings. In PT i can get it down to 128 as well which is perfect, just not in solo mode.

Please look past the MBOX 1 issue because im not stupid, i can tell you in all honesty, i was getting 128 buffer settings in toontrack solo for months and months. Just one day for reasons i’ll never know i started toontrack solo and got latency. Changed the buffer settings and it stayed with the same latency. Deselected asio as the audio device, restarted, selected it again, with no luck.
If we looked past the MBOX, what else could be giving me this problem? please i dont want to go back playing live in a pro tools session.
Just to confirm i can tell you that the sound engineer at the QPAC theater was so impressed with the sounds from superior 2.0 that after the concert he came down to check it out, i remember him commenting how it wasnt going through a DAW.

I have never plugged in any other audio device like mbox 2 or mini whatever, it has allways stayed the same.

Help.
