Default Samson C01U and Cubase SX

Hi,

A friend of mine is trying to ditch all his analogue gear and move
everything on to PC, so he has bought an M-Audio soundcard, Cubase SX
(version 1 unfortunately...) and the above Samson c01u mic (which
connects through the USB).

The problem is latency with the mic - is this a limitation with the USB
connection? I have messed about with the software, but can't seem to
get it down (though i did manage to get it working at all which was an
improvement on him!)

Thanks for any advice on this he is annoying the $hit out of me about
it!

Blair (digital 8 track and happy thank you)

For Cubase:
1. Open the task manager and select the processes tab
2. Close Cubase (if it is running)
3. While watching the process list, open Cubase and see which process
is added to the list.
4. Select (right-click) that process
5. On the dropdown box, select Set Priority
6. Select Realtime
7. Click Yes in the pop-up warning box

That should speed things up, alot.

Then, go into the control panel and select the icon (line) with "Sound
Devices" or something similar in the title (depends on the operating
system). Poke around and set all the acceleration rates, and speed
controls for every device, to as high as they will go.

Hope this helps,


Don't think it will, much. Audio latency is pretty much a function of
the buffer size used in the soundcard's driver. (In this case, the
Samson mic is acting as it's own "soundcard".)

I hope I am wrong. But, from the information I can find, the Samson
does not appear to offer low-latency drivers. This doesn't mean that
it can't be used to make perfectly synchronised multi-track recordings
- we managed that or years before low-latency drivers were ever
available. But it DOES mean that direct input monitoring through
Cubase is a no-no.

My CubaseFAQ discusses latency.
