400 msec eh? That's really bad, sounds like something weird may be
going on.
Your CPU and OS are fine, I've done a ton of real time recording on my
800Mhz w/W2k at home. Even a 400Mhz machine should do fine. Have you
adjusted your latency value in the midi options window?
If you are using DX8 check the SuperLowLatency option (midi options
again). If you are using DX9 you shouldn't need to use SuperLowLatency
engine, just change the latency number in midi options.=20
The only thing that was a show stopper for me driver wise is if you
don't have WDM drivers, but you are using W2k so I'm sure you have WDM
drivers.
Like I said, 400 msec is pretty bad, I've tested a lot of low end cards
with DMusic on machines slower than the one you have and they rarely get
that slow.

Subject: [directmusic] decreasing latency within DirectMusic Producer...
In the past I have usually imported midi sequences into DirectMusic=20
Producer but I would like to shift my way of working to sequence=20
directly inside of DirectMusic Producer. On my current machine which=20
is pretty old now (PIII 900 Mhz windows 2000 pro) the midi to audio=20
latency put on my machine is too high (around 400 msec) to actually=20
sequence there.
Can someone give me some recommendations about which audio card /=20
operating system / cpu I should invest in so I can sequence effectively=20
inside of DirectMusic Producer with minimal latency times?
Thanks -
