Hello everyone,

I just set up Cubase SX3 with a Behringer BCA2000, although I'm mainly working with MIDI in Cubase, and will be laying down vocals and guitar later.

At the moment, the MIDI sound is only coming through my PC speakers through the Wavesynth thingy, and there is enormous latency on it.

I figure that if I have the sound coming straight through the BCA2000 through headphones/monitors there won't be such latency? But I can't get sound to come through... I would have thought Direct Monitoring would work but I'm not doing very well with that either.

Any help/advice for a newbie would be much appreciated.
 
To get the latency down, go into the device settings in cubase. Depending what driver your using, adjust the ASIO settings so the latency is lower.

If you want the sound coming out the behri then change the ASIO driver so the outputs are routed to it. This either means installing a berhri ASIO or ASIO4ALL
 
hey waffle... do you work for asio4all??? gotta wonder as it seems like every post of yours that i read recommends it... despite the fact that most people have the best resopnce with the driver that comes with the interface.... the possible exception being when trying to use mutiple interfaces that dont want to play together...

I knew it was only a matter of time before someone asked! haha :D no I do not work for them

I only recommend it as I have experience from it. Its an easy way to fix problems. I cant be arsed to explain to every user the insides of drivers, and 9/10 downloading A4A works. Its my way of standardising if you will :)

Sorry if its getting on people tits if I keep banging on about it, but I feel its better I respond with that then they are left unanswered.
 
no big deal man... it's just that most of us are sensitive to two areas... pirates... and install problems with out of date progs sends up flares.... and ringers from some company...
 
to adamc, just go to the options in your cubase and select the asio driver, also make sure your midi is using a proper synth, not wavetable. open a synth within cubase and select the bca2000 midi as the input. and you're done.

i have a bca2000 running smoothly with xp, using sonar 8. no problems with midi or audio whatsoever..
 
btw. no need for the crappy asio4all, the asio driver comes with the bca2000, as well as any other audio interface

Akumal, would love to get your settings for using BCA2000 with Sonar 8, what latency have you achieved?
