Midi lag-latency with Logic Audio 5.1

[d4v]

Ok, i kno this question has been asked here before, but the replies didnt help, I got my keyboard hooked up to my pc using a serial cable, but when i play the keys, the sound is delayed badly in my monitors (main speakers) what is causing this, and how can i adjust the lag/latency in logic audio ?

Any replies will help

thanks...

Serial cable or midi cable ?
What type of soundcard or interface ?

Soft synths cannot respond in real time unless you have a modern operating system and a host program that supports DirectX or VST and either ASIO or WDM drivers for your audio interface.

Logic, I suspects, offers you some parameters to tweak once you have the other things in place, but without those things, there's not much you can do.

I'm no expert here, but i think that serial hookup you have might be the problem .. I was having a similar problem with reason using my midi keyboard but my sound card was crappy ...The ones that you find built onboard the motherboard.. So I went out and bought me a M-Audio 2494 sound card, and it fixed the latency problem .. I don't know if this info might help you or not, but it did help me %100 ..

A serial interface is perfectly capable of sending MIDI data back and forth fast enough -- that is not his issue. What fixed the situation you described was switching to a soundcard that had good WDM and ASIO drivers
