Topic: Immediacy, latency, and sample rates.
Sup,
I bought Pianoteq after trying the demo for quite some time. I'm pleased with it. Although...
I do notice a near subliminal delay between my playing and hearing my piano. I don't feel this has been adequately addressed, hence my post.
I tested my gear with CEntrance's ASIO Latency Test Utility, and I get horrible numbers, 48ms. (round trip). This is while using ASIO4ALL.
My internal RealTek HD crackles with a ASIO latency lower then 12ms.
I want (hopefully) a 10-20ms round trip score. This should be outside of my perception. See reasoning here.
Some questions I'd like answers for...
I'm buying a M-Audio 2496 (Quite a popular choice) I hope to use at 96Khz sampling. Will this be sufficient to bring immediacy to my playing? My budget is $150. Should I return it?
Does anyone have a 196Khz card like an Audiotrak Prodigy HD2? What kind of scores do you get with the above utility? Is it stable?
Regardless of your equipment, how does it score with the above utility? What kind of soundcard do you use? Does your playing feel immediate? Do you gig with Pianoteq? Are you a concert pianist?
Assuming I'm running a state-of-the-art Windows computer minus audio hardware, how can I get the absolute lowest latency with Pianoteq with $150?
Thanks.
Thanks Again.
