Hi everybody.
I'm struggling to make my n-track setup work.
Quick description:
Asus PC Laptop PIV 2.4 MHz, 1 GB RAM, 80 GB 5400 rpm HDD + M-Audio Firewire 410 soundcard. SW= Cubase SX.

Want to make a good laugh?
A friend of mine set it up for me (hey, he runs a nice studio woth lots of digital stuff and is actually making very nice music indeed...) but him first and me afterwards both encoutered a very strange problem (prepare to giggle):
> 100 ms latency on MIDI, yes: MIDI!!! And 5 to 7-8 ms to audio signal. Ah, ah, ahh, ahh!!!

So, the question is: how is this possible? It sounds nonsense to me and I presume to all of us...

Can anybody lend me an hand to sort this crap out?

Thanks a lot -- Marco.
 
Your harddrive is too slow for recording. 7200rpm's is the minimun needed. The firewire is probably also contributing to the latency. I think the best you can do is to make sure all to shut down all the unnecessary programs running in the backround and reduce your buffer size to the minimum.
