[RWP] Latency

[Indigo]

I solved the excess midi latency problem.
Audio settings do affect midi latency extremely, as I read in posts in 
Cockos forums.
First, in Options/audio  I set the buffer size to 128 samples, said to 
be a reasonable comprimise, instead of the original default 1200 samples.
Some users with fast computers report that 64 samples is enough for the 
audio buffer.
Tabbing down in the audio settings I found that my EMu sound card's ASIO 
driver had accidentally become replaced with a generic ASIO driver 
that's on my computer.
Trying to learn what changes I could make in that ASIO driver that 
occupied the edit box, like right clicking on it, hitting enter on it, I 
right arrowed on it and discovered that my named EMu ASIO driver 
suddenly appeared there.
I don't know how it got replaced with the generic driver, maybe I 
snagged that selection somehow by accident earlier.
Also, a few tabs down from there is a button to configure my EMu ASIO 
driver.
I hit enter on it and got a small dialog that didn't let me set the 
buffer size in my E-Mu control panel with speech, as I hoped, but did 
let me set latency.
I set it to 5ms for now, if I hear no crackling I'll go back and set it 
lower.
I also checked the option in audio to use the reported latency from the 
sound card.
This is important, since Reaper uses the reported latency  to calculate 
compensation for the sound card's  latency.

Now, with 5ms latency, when running various soft synths, they feel like 
I'm playing hardware synths, with midi latency low enough to not be a 
problem.
