Pretty new to all this home recording, but in need of some help.
Been wanting to do home recording for a couple of years now, started off with my first purchase Line 6 UX2 audio interface and soon found out that my 6 year old family PC was sorely out classed by it.
I upgraded my PC found the parts I wanted and basically started from scratch now I've got a 3.1 quad core AMD processor and 8 gig of memory. As for hardware I'm using the on board graphics from my motherboard (as I'm not too fussed about graphics) and I'm using the Line 6 UX2 as my sound card.
Now the issue I'm having is with latency and under running, I've been using Nuendo and after a bit of research started to learn about buffers and latency etc. So to get the least latency I've had to turn the buffer down quite a lot on my UX2, latency wise I couldn't be happier but having this small buffer is causing sound issues during play back or when just listening to music.
I've found a way around this (temporarily) and that's to manually change the buffer size depending on what I'm doing (ie low for recording, higher for playback). My question is how is this resolved in more professional situations? I thought maybe its possible that the best solution would be to purchase another piece of hardware, such as an external sound card, then I'd have 2 buffers to play with, what do you guys think?
PS. I do have an on board sound card with my motherboard but tbh I don't think that using this would do justice to the 8" monitors I spent a small fortune on
