Hi All,
I am using a very basic laptop (Lenovo business laptop from my work), with standard in-built sound card. This is resulting is huge latency when I play any instrument (VSTi) using the impact Lx49 MIDI controller. I have absolutely no other gear.
Is there anyway to connect the MIDI controller directly to an external speaker in order to reduce latency? I know the VSTi sound will drop, but i am fine as long as i get basic sound out of the external speaker so i can keep up with the metronome and get immediate response. I do want the MIDI codes to go the computer using USB at the same time, so it records what i am playing.
Basics:
1. DAW = Reaper
2. MIDI Contorller = Nektar IMpact LC49+ - pretty basic controller with only two outputs - one USB output, and a footpedal output
3. Speaker = regular headphones/speakers - NO studio monitor or amp available
Appreciate your help - I am running on super cheap setup, since primary aim is to put inspiration to paper, and then take it to next level (if all goes well)
