hi im using cubase to slave reason the latency for both when they are not contected is completly fine but when i rewire it it goes very high. any ideas of how this can be solved? (p.s i am using an external fast tack pro sound card) thanks lolly

Hi there,

What r ur computer specs ? Sounds like you may be runnin out of juice !

got 512MB of ram, is that too slow? i have got close to no space on the hard drive would deleteing aload of old unused stuff help speed things up abit?

You need a min of 2GB RAM for music prod, you'll soon find that when you get large sessions on either prog going when using them as standalones you'll get latency and the computer crashing etc !

I would advise you to upgrade your RAM urgently ! Wot spec is your processor ?

If you're only running 512 gb of ram, then that is most likely your problem. When you slave, you're adding more load to the computer. Two gb is the minimum, but if you've got a couple combinators going along with a lot of processors, and maybe some other things, I'd get at least three gigs of ram.

I know this isnt directly UNSW related, but would anyone be able to tell me if Basser have internet in the rooms?

Wow really? I didn't think that music production needed high specs at all... Guess it's because I rarely use DAWs, only Reason. Doesn't matter though, my laptop has 2gigs of RAM and I'm getting 4GB for my gaming PC.
