New user latency trouble

Hi, Thanks for supplying this forum. I just got EZDRUMMER on my Laptop with WindowsXP and am using it with a Yamaha DTXpress kit as triggers. I would like to be able to record my band live using it into a Roland VS-2480 digital recorder as a stereo pair. I am experiencing latency which will not allow this to happen. My laptop has a Soundblaster Audigy2 ZS PCMCIA card and I am using an E-MU midi-USB cable for connections. I have set the latency on EZD to the lowest.
Do you think it is the soundcard that is the problem? Does anyone have a similar set up that they recommend? I am new to this and I love the sound that i’m getting from EZD as compared to the original Yamaha module. Please help me get this to work.
Thanks

Yes, for the best latency performance, a soundcard that supports ASIO drivers is your best bet. Some users have found success with using this: http://www.asio4all.com/

Thanks. The manual for the card said ASIO on it, but it wasn’t a very expensive card.

Under Audio > Audio Devices in Toontrack Solo, which device do you have selected?

It says SB Audigy 2 ASIO 24/96 (FECO)

Again, I’d recommend trying the ASIOforall link and seeing if that doesn’t improve things. Since the Soundblaster cards are more for basic audio needs, I’d also recommend looking into a more professional soundcard. There are alot of options from RME, M-audio, etc.

I just downloaded the asio4all and it works much, much better. Thanks for your help, Scott!
