I am running T1.6 on a desktop with a Mia, running through a Behringer mixer with the outs from the soundcard going into the "control room" of the mixer to monitor.
On my laptop, I am merely using a PODxt, with its ASIO driver.
No matter where I set the latency, it doesn't seem to effect anything in regard to a delay. It sounds the same.
Do I have something set wrong here? I am using ASIO direct on the POD, but not the Echo Mia.
What effect of latency should I be looking for? On any other app, a buffer as big as I have it set to would cause horrible delays.
How does latency show its ugly face in T1.6/2?

i get confused that i can set it via either the slider or the driver's ASIO control panel, and it seems to be possible for them to be set to different values. Maybe i'm misunderstanding how it works... As far as noticing the latency goes I think i usually have to hit the "reset driver" button (i can't remember the exact name, but its something like that) for the changes to take effect.

You must make the tracktion latency slider be the same as the control panel latency of your ASIO driver, then click restart device.

Latency is compensated for during playback, so you will only be aware of it while monitoring audio inputs in realtime, or playing softsynths via MIDI..

So I am not really going to hear it, when recording and monitoring live instruments, i.e. guitar?IIRs wrote:Latency is compensated for during playback, so you will only be aware of it while monitoring audio inputs in realtime, or playing softsynths via MIDI..
Apparently I am monitoring off of the signal with the XT, and using a mixer with my Mia probably negates the latency issue while recording and monitoring at the same time.

It depends whether you monitor the guitar using the soundcard mixer, in which case the latency doesn't matter, or whether you do it through Tracktion, in which case it does. (if you plan to use a plug-in amp sim you will need to do the second)

I don't even know how you'd go about monitoring in Tracktion. Everything I hear is going through the sound card mixer, I do believe.IIRs wrote:It depends whether you monitor the guitar using the soundcard mixer, in which case the latency doesn't matter, or whether you do it through Tracktion, in which case it does.

I don't (as of yet) use any amp sims, and I only use soft synths through Reason, which I can tell the latency delay, but it's easy to adjust until it's short enough with no Rice Krispies (snap, crackle, pop).
I'll consider Guitar Rig when it gets better (to me it's not there yet) until then the POD works well, especially with just a laptop, the POD, and a guitar + Tracktion.
