Hi Vitor
I would be interested in comments from those who do recordings where latency is
more critical than for what I do. I can repeat a click track test and get
slightly different results, and that is with just two tracks. But it is a
small difference. I strongly suspect that individual machines will influence
latency.
On this machine WASAPI requires about half the adjustment of Windows Direct.
Unfortunately, it also introduces a flutter on the first second or so of a
recording.
I have not tested whether recording in 16, 24 or 32 bit float makes a
difference. My guess would be that the higher the bit depth and greater the
rate the more grunt would be required from the computer.
Are you running a SSD (solid state disk) or a conventional one. In my
experience this six-year old SSD is so much faster than a mechanical drive.
Hope the above ramblings help a bit.
Andrew

Subject: [audacity4blind] Solving latency problems
Hi list.
I have recently been making some experiments to compare other accessible daws
with Audacity, and, to be honest, I like the 32 bit float quality Audacity
provides by default. The only problem is that I always have to keep making
slight adjustments to latency values.
I don't know if the same happens to any of you musicians and producers out
there, but after a fiew tracks, latency really starts to be a problem, and I
always have to keep an eye, either to be able to sync while playing, or to
adjust the values in the recording preferences.
Sometimes, even tracks which sounded in sync, get out of sync for no apparent
reason. And that happens specificly with Audacity.
As Audacity does not support Asio, and comçiling it in the program is far beond
the extent of my hability and patience, I would like to know how you solve
latency problems without Asio, or if you have to keep adjusting those values
just like it seems to be my case. If you have an easyer solution, please share
it. Many thanks.
