This means that people are finding that a buffer of 128, is a good one to go for. However, I have found that on fast systems, you can easily get that as low as 64.

I know there's an easy fix, but I just can't remember what it is. Buffer size? Bit rate? I suppose it's a midi thing, but I just don't know. Any help would be appreciated. Oh yes, I can record audio just fine, it's just the soft synths that are giving me trouble. http://www.gbrayton.com http://www.myspace.com/gbrayton http://www.sonicbids.com/GregBrayton
