nuendo too slow to respond! any clue?

[josevin2000]

recently i did a home studio set up for my buddy. I installed Xp service pack 2 on his comp and performed most of the audio tweaks.

then i went about installing his audio softwares namely Nuendo 2.0, Reason 3.0, Waves 4.0 and hypersonic 1. however when i was casually checking out the softwares after restarting i noticed that nuendo was a little slow to respond to my keyboard transport commands. in the sense i would press space on my keyboard but it would start playing only after a couple of seconds. well i thought maybe the session i was checking was too much for his machine to handle , but when i opened a new session with no tracks recorded, i still faced the same prob.

I have not yet installed the sound card and t'was a wild thought whether that could be the reason. But when i tested reason with a full fledged session i did not face this prob. Besides i have played nuendo sessions before thru on board soundcards. His soundcard will arrive in a couple of days. do u think once its installed the prob will be solved? or is it something to do with nuendo?

well till date i have never come across such a problem with nuendo. have any of you guys faced such a prob? Its a brand new pc. Config is P4 2.8 gHz, intel d915gav board, 512 ddr ram

What soundcard driver is being used by Nuendo? Check to make sure that a true asio driver is being used and not a higher latency wdm or other driver. Also what audio card is being used?

hey parky, yep apparently twas a problem with driver selection. like i said the sound card is coming in only tommorrow. as of now we were monitoring thru the on board sound card only.

but the prob was initially i had selected asio multimedia as the driver. when i switched to asio directx full duplex, the prob vanished..

well i never anticipated it to be prob with the driver. but thnaks dude.
