I have run into a latency issue on my Tascam 122 - when I overdub on an imported beat or the first rhythm track - the latency factor seems to be around 120 ms. Actually, it seems to be early/faster by 120 ms so I have to increase the time location on that track to match beat correctly. I have two questions:
1. Will the latency factor always be constant with my set-up? (i.e. every time I record a track it will be exactly 120 ms off). Or does this factor change from track to track and one recording session to the next?
Is there a method to determine exactly what the latency factor is?
2. Given my set-up below (with an average-speed laptop), what are my best options for reducing latency. Will better studio software take care of this, or is it something else. Also, does my laptop soundcard still come into play even though the Tascam interface is acting as a soundcard?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, E
Here is my setup:
Shure KSM27 condenser mic
Tascam US-122 USB Audio/MIDI Interface (powered via USB port)
Acoustica Mixcraft 2.50 Recording Studio (software)
Laptop - 1.4 GHz, Pentium M, 40GB, 512MB RAM, 400 MHz bus speed, sound card is cheap (Sound Blaster Pro)
