Digsy Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Hi all, this is my first post so be gentle. :) I am just starting out experimenting with create some very basic tunes. I don't have a keyboard so I am using the virtual controllers but I am seeing too much lag between the keypress and the note being recorded in Cakewalk. Any ideas how I can get around this?

scook Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Lower the audio buffer size in Preferences > Audio > Driver Settings or the audio interface software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scook Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 The slider is disabled when running WASAPI Shared or an ASIO driver that does not support buffer size request by the DAW. If running WASAPI Shared change driver mode to WASAPI Exclusive. If running ASIO change the buffer size in the ASIO client software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted October 10, 2021 Author Share Posted October 10, 2021 Ok, so I'm obviously out of my depth already as I have no idea what that means. I don't know if you are referring to the driver for my keyboard or my sound driver. As I said I am using the virtual controller via a USB keyboard. The sound is on board. Hardy high end stuff but we are literally just talking about a few beeps here - I am hardly stressing my system. Sorry to sound like a total noob but that's what I am. Can you be more specific where I should be looking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
