Subject: Optimal Driver setup?
Original Message 1/12 25-Dec-02 @ 12:10 PM Edit: 25-Dec-02 | 12:12 PM - Optimal Driver setup?
I am a bit confused about which driver to choose tho, since there are several available and the manual is quite subtle about it. Naturally I want the fastest one. When I choose ASIO in the 'audio driver 2' tab, the whole program crashes like a led zeppelin so I don't really know whether it's faster than the EASI driver or not.. Anyone know why this could be happening?
There is also 2 EASI drivers, MME & Directsound.
What's the difference, Is there some way I can see & compare the latency in milliseconds?? In Cubase you see it right under the driver setup box but in Logic I have not found anything similar.
Big thanks for any info, this site is the real deal!

Here's what I did to correct my audio recording latency:
Create a track with an object thats say 24 bars long. Don't use a 1 bar object with the looping turned on, or aliases from a single object. Those methods aren't as tight as actual notes. Also move this track to the top of your arrange window. Generally sequencer's send out notes top track first.
Fill the object with quarter notes.
Select a patch/program or whatever you wanna call it that has a very short attack and release. Like a side stick or hi hat.
Send the track to a external device (synth,drum machine). Vsti's are supposed to be sample acurrate, well emagic's own vsti's are anyway...
Record the output of that track as audio.
Open the sample editor and measure how far off the hits are from the quarter bar marks.
Go into the audio config. settings for your driver and adjust the buffer to correspond with the latency of your audio driver.
(note: the sample editor can display regions in samples, or miliseconds so use whatever unit your driver's buffers are measured in)
Kinda basic but some people get caught up with all the other features and forget the basic setup stuff.

What I meant about the EASI driver was that when I am choosing which driver to use in Logics audio preferences, there is no driver that is ONLY called EASI. It is either EASI MME or EASI Directsound, and since they are both named EASI, it is a little confusing.. EASI MME works fine for me though, I'll probably just stick to that one...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I 'should' be seeing a driver called M-Audio Delta EASI in my list, right? Very strange that It's not there then... Anyone else with the same card/DAW?
