I have Cubase 5 - 64 bit for my Dell - Why is it that everytime I play into the program with my guitar there is a fraction of a second where it is delayed - i have read up on so many latency issues and there are so many different solutions...some which I have tried and have not yet worked?

Have you gone into the Audio Sound properties and taken the check mark off the microphone as a Recording device? Also mute the mic.

All it needs is a USB connection. You'll need to go into Cubase device setup and make sure your lambda drivers are selected. Then create the audio channels in cubase with the inputs set as the inputs you're using for guitar and mic. There is a monitor button right next to the record enable button that needs to be enabled if you want to hear playback from your computer.

Good luck!

This sounds like a driver problem. You can download vista drivers for Cubase from here, which should fix your problem.

If you are sequencing midi tracks you can imbed the patch change in the track and the midi channel assignment and when the sequence plays the info will be sent to the keyboard. Do you have it set to receive Omni?

Most recording programs have a some way to keep tracks in sync. It is usually some type of begining and end marker. When you press record for the second track it starts the begining marker. What is the program your using?

Hi Melimiti,
You are not the only one with this problem. Cubase is quite a complicate software. If reinstalling does not help we need to have a CLEAN Install on a new OS. If the problem still persist contact the vendor for the product exchange.

Try resetting it if there is a reset on the card. If not there has to be a solution associated with the software. Did it happen while you were using it? Try the default settings

This is caused by latency. You can fix it by beefing up your computer, sound card, or audio input device.

just try thisL:
start/run/prefetch
what its coming delate it all
then try again if not delate some program from your control panel otherwise format it

If you're recording to an audio program on your computer (e.g., Cubase), there typically is a slight delay in the tracks you record with the first one (such as a slight delay in the vocal when layering over the guitar track). ou can change the delay in the "Preferences" for the audio card in your computer or you can remove the delay manually.. I do the latter. I record using the Audacity 1.3.3. program on a Mac G4. I find that get a 0.3 second delay in tracks layered onto the first track. So, after I record a track, I cut the first 0.3 seconds froom the beginning of the track (I give myself at least 10 seconds of "dead air" at the start. and keep playing the tracks until they're synchronized. Takes a good ear, but really is the best way to synchronize the tracks.
