In a basic PC DAW, where does latency really get you? I'm a typical one-man act here in my garage studio. I've been trying demos of several new multitracking programs. Including most of the products mentioned on this BBS.
My test is simple: to lay down 3 or 4 tracks, one at a time. I've noticed a real difference in the various programs in how accurately they will let me sing and play in sync with previous tracks. A couple seem to place my overdub slightly behind the previous track, as if I'm lagging. But one seems to place it slightly forward, as if I'm singing into the future!?
Anyone got a clue as to critical software settings, or where else such problems come from?
