Topic: Pianoteq for Playing (Latency - Sample Rates)
Hello,
Let me first say that I tried to find an answer to my question before posting here, but I didn't really find a specific answer or I couldn't really interpret the often technically advanced answers given on this forum.
I want to buy Pianoteq just for practicing/playing but I can't decide which version of the software to get. I am a new pianist with 6-month experience and I'm looking for ways to improve my experience as I improve as a player. Here is my setup:
- Roland FP-30X
- Audio Interface: Chord Mojo DAC (768kHz/32-bit Capable Input)
- AMD Ryzen 3600 CPU, 16 GB RAM, fast NVMe SSDs (don't know which other PC part should be mentioned)
- Windows 11
- DAW: Reaper
My goal is to practice with as little latency as possible and ideally completely eliminate it. I am not an audio-tech nerd but If I'm not mistaken, I have to achieve a low latency in my DAW.
I read that the Pro version offers a higher sample rate (192 kHz) which my audio interface/system could support (hopefully I’m correct) and which could lower the latency. At the same time, the Pro feels overkill to get but if it's the only way to get a "zero" latency experience, then I'll have to strongly consider it.
Will the Pro version offer a more "tactile" experience? Or the Stage version would be enough for me?
Hopefully I haven't completely misunderstood the terms latency, sample rate etc.
Thanks in advance!
