Hi

I just have registered to confirm superb latency after reading flipflop’s comments about latency.

I have purchased a RMI HDSPe AIO (not PRO) specifically after flipflop’s comments. I was worried it would be not good, that I can go 192khz with asio4all and stock card anyway but still have big latency. No. You have to buy proper card. And probably not USB. Mine is PCI Express. So I tested with recording two sources: one  is microphone on snare and two is output of RME’s audio. Then compared the difference in sample editor CoolEditPro (today’s Adobe Audition). I have sworn that I will do that if it works, so that’s what i’m doing right now 🙂

Originally I had 2box drumit five which is perfect use scenario for me, but total latency in my case was around 5ms with it, tested same way as above, hence the search to cut more milliseconds. So I have bit the bullet and purchased Roland TD-25 and RMI HDSPe AIO and man…. I’m not disappointed. I have only done some preliminary tests, but on PDX100 snare with positional sensing off, local control off, driver mode VENDOR (midi through USB, not the standard MIDI cable 5 pin), scantime 0 (which works for this snare) i get…..even less than flip flop, i get average 2,9811 milliseconds latency! Measured around 30 hit’s average. That is TOTAL latency (from snare hit to hearing output from RMI), not some asio buffer latency. Obviously to get as low as possible, latency settings are set at 192khz, 128 buffer size (Asio panel reports 0.7ms -that’s the buffer latency only, not overall). My processor is 13700 but I don’t think that does matter, it can be much older, the RMI is here to do the hard work.

This is however with Addictive Drums 2, Studio 90’s rock kit. With EZDrummer 3 Studio Basic kit i get worse latency (but still perfect), its 3.63ms. Maybe some settings to set, it’s just right off the bat without doing any settings.

Thanks flipflop
