When I record my bass guitar using Cubase AI 5 the sound is delayed?

When I record my bass guitar using Cubase AI 5 the sound is delayed :?: Which makes recording my self very difficult as you can imagine. I am using a Yamaha audiogram 6 which AI 5 came free with it. The spec of my laptop is 1.00 GB RAM Intel R T1400 1.73GHZ Processor. Thanks.

Hi there,

It'll be because of your sound cards latency (i.e. how long it takes to digitise the audio, get it into the system & process it. It's also affected by the load your Operating System puts on your computer hardware. XP wasn't too bad but vista sucked for making your hardware work hard.

This is usually measured in milli-seconds (4ms is great 12ms or slower = not so good & anything from 18ms onwards you can usually really notice)

Your recording software should have settings for this & can download ASIO drivers which really help speed up the process.

if you can,t find specific drivers for yot yamaha then do a search for 'asio4all', it's a really useful and stable driver that works with loads of different cards. Should help to reduce latency. Looking at your specs i'd look at getting some extra ram too.

Latency is a killer with computer recording.

It's why I bought a cheap second hand dedicated recorder.

It has USB to dump the tracks down after recording so I can mix it on the laptop
