Which soundcard, and which drivers are you using? If you're using a soundblaster type card without ASIO drivers, you're gonna have latency problems. If you have a card with ASIO drivres, you need to set the buffers to get the lowest latency possibel without dropouts and problems from your card.
SX is dope. Another option is Cakewalk Sonar 2.0. If you need a cheap sound card with low latency you should peep the M-Audio Audiophile. A lot of people use that card with SX. You can use SX with a soundblaster but most of the time the latency is too high.
PS: I'm using SX with a M-Audio Omni studio and my latency is 5ms.

Hey,
I use SX and the M-Audio Delta 1010 and the Yamaha DSP Factory, all ASIO drivers under Win2K. 10ms latency with the 1010, 30 ms latency with the DSP Factory.
If you're serious about updating your system, take the time and money to get a decent card.
Take care,
Nick

I liked cubase's plugins thats it...it use for mastering is kinda hard if the tempo isnt right. I mean its hard to sequence without going thru a lot of thinking and processing. Like theres not "snap" or beat matching option..u gotta calculate and tap tempo and etc ..
It sounds great
Sonar XL is alright..but it looks corny and kinda strange interface..not as simple as some programs should be.
Pro tools is cool..but is crappy under windows.
Logic..is jsut beyond my patience to try to learn all the way
Acid..is the easiest...and beat matches perfectly alot of time...i just dont like its sound quality
Im not listing what i use now..but its all about the user..not the program..after all my cousin has hot beats from the FIRST fruity loops...

i have the delta audiophile 2496 w/ cubase sx. No latency problems anymore.
Question: How should the buffers be set in Cubase?
anyone using FL studio yet?

Yeah I don't like FL Studio. I'd rather make the track in FL and import into Cubase sX

i have been considering cubase for a while and have done a fair amount of research. it looks like i am going with cubase sx and the aardvark 24/96 Pro i think its called... the Aardvark comes with Cakewalk 9, or something like that.... would this work well for latency? what exactly is latency? also, someone said that they would make the track on fruity, import to cubase? cant you just make the track on cubase?

Hey,
1. You can make the track in Cubase, but you will need some source of sounds. Cubase somes with some soft synths, but you may tire of them quickly...you may be able to run Fruity Loops as a vitrual instrument from within Cubase.
2. Latency: in the softsynth world, latency refers to the amount of time between the moment you to play a key on your MIDI controller and the moment you hear the sound coming out of your speakers.
In the human world, drunkeness has HIGH latency...when someone is drunk, it takes them longer to react to things than it would someone who isn't drunk.
When purchasing soundcards for programs with virtual instruments and effects (Cubase, FL, Reason), you need to make sure that the acronym ASIO is stamped somewhere on the box. ASIO means 'Audio Stream Input Output'; this a type of high-performance 'driver' which allows direct communication between the software (like Cubase) and the soundcard.
ASIO is not the only high-performance driver out there: WDM, EASI, GSIF are just a few of the others. WDM is for Sonar, EASI for Logic, GSIF for Gigasampler, etc.

hey.... what did that guy get banned for? just curious....
anyhow, yet another cubase question: on the midi step sequencer, can i record half notes and quarter notes? one thing i really miss (already!) about my mpc is the step sequencer.... you can input a sound all the way up to .95..... anything like this with cubase?
