Topic: latency?
Hi folks,
another newbie question.
My rig:
- roland fp-7f keyboard
- PreSonus audiobox usb
- thinkpad t440s laptop
- pianoteq 6
i have the roland midi going into the laptop, via usb, and the laptop digital audio output going to the audiobox, via usb.
i also have the right and left channels of the roland going into the audio in of the audiobox. i do this because the roland has great backing tracks i like to use.
by turning a knob on the roland i can mix down its keyboard audio out, and only hear the backing track, or vice versa.
if i output the roland keyboard sound to the audiobox, as well as the output of pianoteq, and hit a key, i hear a slight echo.
i think that echo represents the latency of pianoteq compared to the roland. i'd estimate it is about an 1/8 of a second.
i believe i can feel the latency a wee bit when i am playing, though i seem to get used to it.
but i'd not expect that latency.
i am definitely not very literate in audio signals, either digital or analog, nor midi, so be gentle.
thoughts?
