Hi all, I am extremely new to this program. I just got my keyboard to play through reason (it's a yamaha dgx-220) but there is a lag when i try and play through reason. I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix this as it makes it kind of hard to play in time, thanks a lot!!

Two things you may want to check.

First, what is your latency/buffer set to?

I keep my buffer at 512 to maintain a 12 ms latency. Can't really hear a delay with those settings, certainly not one you'd call lag.

Also, if you are on a pc do are you using ASIO drivers found here? http://www.asio4all.com/

Perhaps it is a driver issue for you.

Yeah, for best results you should go with asio. Set the buffer size as low as you can until you start hearing noise.

Thanks for this I've fixed my lag problem. But I'm still having to endure excruciating sound quality. I have no idea what is causing it. Any ideas anyone?

What do you mean by "excruciating sound quality"?

If you're hearing hiss, clicks and pops, that means your computer cannot send audio data to the soundcard fast enough and you need to increase the buffer size a bit (that also increases latency). Just go to Preferences->Audio (...->Control Panel, for ASIO)
