I didn't see it properly but who was the DJ at the time just stopped and had a go at him after? My sig was laggy so couldn't tell.

Hopefully they'll just cut out that bit :/

Just really inappropriate for someone to do that on a large sound system, very publicly, and where in the crowd there can be gay people. Lacking tact and dignity there.

Ooo thank you Rando. Okay I am going to bookmark this thread and read it again when I get it lol Thanks again

I don't think it is handling several apps very well at all. itunes wont play my music

Allow Pull Mode and Force WDM to 16bit don't really do anything. Maybe in my head but maybe Force WDM to 16 bit makes the slightest difference. Wishful thinking more like.

Always Resample - I have worked out I should always leave on, found that in another forum. Unticking it stops all noise.

ATI ...

Yes, kind of. Using my standard driver - it had massive latency that I couldn't comphensate in adjusting the delay. And the sound during playback was much much worse than it is now. So I installed Asio4all...

The latency on the piano went. But to put it bluntly, everything else went tits up!

Sound ...

Yup. Turned up to max. I just want to toggle between other tracks, A/Bing for comparisons :/

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone else has come across this? Maybe it happens on other DAWs?

I installed Asio4ALL v2 the other day when trying to hook up my piano via midi to my laptop. I finally got it working but at a cost...

If I have Ableton open, I can't play anything through the internet ...

since im new im always trying to get better at everything at once as opposed to breaking it down into smaller pieces but it does make me feel less overwhelmed to do it this way. thanks alot for the advice

Me too! Been feeling overwhelmed by how much I need to catch up to everyone else since I ...

Okay...had to go the long way round and found a sort of quick fix from googling another forum.

If anyone else has the same problem it's: Preferences > Hardware > Select 'Realtek High Definition Audio' (I had 2 options and the other one killed all sound)

Tick 'Always Resample 44.1kHz <-> 48kHz ...

I just gave it another shot. Yeah... normally the 'buffer size' setting is highlighted in yellow and you can move it. But it's all greyed out. Ermm when I have changed it to asio4all, I am getting no sound whatsoever in playback. Test tone doesn't even make a noise when I turn it on.

Using what I've got already Asio DirectX Full Duplex Driver... notes are clipping and crackling. Well.... actually, everything is clipping and crackling when I playback. Can't change the buffer size (screen shot attached) and adjusting the track delay isn't doing anything. If I can get the asio4all ...

Hey Rando! I downloaded it about an hour ago but when I switch to it, I lose the sound from the piano? I can see activity when I press the keys but no sound. Is there any way around this?

Thank you!

Ok, reaaaly weird... for some reason Ableton has finally recognised it!?! Don't know why it didn't work before!?! :o Haha, I did make sure they were all properly jammed in. :mrgreen: Sounds slightly glitchy though and I'm going to have a look on what to do about the latency, egh. But at least ...

Yup, definitely! Infact, checked it half a dozen times I'm starting to get neurotic over it lol.

Okay...restarted laptop for the 15th time today, thinking it might 'jog' ableton to recognise it. I've done all the steps above, midi is connected, keyboard icon is on, preferences is 'USB midi' and yes, even put a midi track earlier and vst plugin, I was just doubting myself as I've not hooked this ...

LOL, sorry I should mention I did try it earlier but it's not even recognised the piano first yet :S

@RandoRando: Definitely connected midi Out. My piano's instructions say it's Out to In and In to Out? (To me that doesn't make sense but it says so in the book) It's a 5 prong going straight to USB, straight to my laptop.

@Sine69: I've restarted the laptop and checked preferences. Am I supposed to ...
