    What audio interface are you using? I would check the buffer size on your interface; try to set it to under 512ms!

    Many many thanks Seanmichaels, your reply and help is so appreciated.

    I’m a duffer at some of the technical stuff so i’ll give that a try as soon as possible.

    You;re very kind, thanks again

    P.S. I was plugging the akai directly into my laptop via usb. Should i go through an interface as i would an instrument?

    I have an m-audio Mtrack interface…

    Thanks again for your kind help

    USB is exactly what you want to use. All good there.

    I still believe the main issue facing you is the audio buffer size. You should be able to go into your digital audio workstation’s (Ableton, Logic, Cubase, Pro Tools, etc) preferences and adjust the buffer size of your M-Audio M Track. You may want to even go as low as 128ms.

    If you’re on Windows, I’ve also read that downloading the ASIO4ALL driver helps greatly in reducing latency.

    Best of luck!
