If you use a notation program such as Sibelius, Finale, Print Music or MusicTime, you've probably experienced the frustration of latency.
Latency is the delay between when you strike a key on a MIDI keyboard and when your computer creates the sound. This can make it impossible to properly record and line notes up and is very frustrating!
Even if you don�t use a notation program, but work with software synths, VSTi�s or virtual instruments such as those from EastWest, Steinberg, IK Multimedia, AAS or any others, you know how big a problem latency can be! If you want to use a software synth live, or even if you want to record and have your tracks line up, you can�t be worrying about latency.
Fortunately, there are two easy solutions, and we now have a video that explains what latency is, why it happens and how to fix it!
