MIDI Delay in Reason

[skippy4ya]

I'm using Reason and am having a huge (1/8 second) delay from the time I hit the the kay on the keyboard from the time it registers on the computer. Computer couldn't be faster. MIDI input is a Layla 24 track...hot setup, but still delay.

Anyone know what's up?

Thanks!

Go to settings, make sure U use DirectX or Asio drivers, and turn the buffer size down until you get from 70 to 20 ms latency, try a few and stick with the one with no crakling... Enjoy real time!:cool:

go get the asio drivers, if you don't have one

just install cubase sx (demo or retail)

Sounds great! I'll give it a try tonight.

Thanks!!:thumbsup:

and don't forget to setup the buffers in the asio-setup...

try 512 (~10ms latency with my SB Live Player) , if this is too much for your soundcard try 728 or 1024

good luck

or you may need to buy a better soundcard with low latency drivers. ASIO.
m-audio, rme, motu, etc make a lot of pro quality stuff that will give "low latency" response from midi to audio

How about cakewalk? I experience the same delay too from keyboard to recording.
