<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I'm running pretty wimpy hardware on this one
machine, 1.2 ghz, windows xp, using asio, and I would estimate the
latency, just by sound, to be in the 10 to 20 millisecond range,
pretty acceptable.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>In reaper preferences, audio system, which is asio,
tab across until a checkbox for Request Block Size. I have that
checked. The next field is apparently the block size edit box which now
appears, I have that set to 256.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>There are a couple checkboxes about pre-zero
buffers, and reset messages, both unchecked.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Thread priority set to driver default.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>HTH somehow.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Further to this, I found I can lengthen the
latency as much as I want, through the recording and playback latency
controls. but it won't change below a certain offset number. So if
I put a big number in there, I can increase the latency, but less than say
200MS it doesn't seem to change at all. So my conclusion is that it's in
the hardware and or processing more than anything else.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>It's just odd that I can get that latency right
down to nothing in audacity by using a negative value in the record/play
offset fields.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Trust me, I've spent hours trying to tweak things
and I can get it to have a slightly lesser delay time, but still very large
compared to how it should be.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The best way I've found to measure latency is to
run a sound source, like a drum machine, into the sound card, then use the
record monitor (F8) set to normal I think, and you can hear the huge latency
between the signal playing through the sound card, and reaper playing it
through the record monitor.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I do it this way because that is how one would
organize things during a multi-track over dub recording.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>It is possible I am missing something, but like I
said, I've done extensive tests to get rid of that latency and it just will
not reduce to less than a certain amount.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>did that...tried lots of different rates and it
does minimize it a bit, but still it's a good 200MS.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Look at buffering time, both on play back and
recording, and shrink those down to the lowest level that still provides
reliable performance. That will help a lot.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>at least in audacity you could taylor the
offset so that you ended up with very little latency...reaper doesn't
appear to have anything that will do that.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I've tried everything in reaper to offset
the latency that I could kill with audacity on the same machines using
the same sound cards.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Asio, WDM and direct sound and the rest
don't seem to make a whole lot of difference on my stuff...I'm still
stuck with probably a 2 or 300MS latency issue.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>What are you using for an
interface?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>If your not using a professional audio
device, or aren't in asio or wdm mode, then your timing could be
dodgy.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>It's the same problem with audacity a
nice multi-tracker that's free but because it doesn't support accepted
low latency high precission standards for recording, you have to set
an off-set which will vary with each sound card, and even then might
not work quite right.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>depending on what mode you are

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I have a problem with reaper. At least,
i think its a problem with reaper. I can record all my tracks, and
then go back to listen to them. for example, a drum track and piano
track, and they are out of time. I know i've recorded them in time,
and its starting to get a little old using wav files and mixing them
down.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Any help would be
appriciated.</FONT></DIV>
