Hi,
Got a decent laptop with i7 47xx 2.5, 16gb, 120 m.2, 2tb, 960m
Sound card is pretty shoddy (obviously) and I'm thinking about getting one to eliminate the below problem:
When I use my Akai APC Key 25 MIDI controller in Ableton and monitor through either headphones or speakers- from the AUX out on the laptop, there is noticeable latency from each key stroke on the APC 25. I looked in the settings and input latency is zero but output latency is 92ms, obviously lowering the output buffer size makes it difficult to listen to the music and never truly gets rid of the latency.
My idea is to buy an external audio interface such as a focusrite one, but I would like to be sure as to whether this is the best solution?
Thanks
I've attached a print screen of the latency values as well.
