Fixing Midi Controller Latency in Ableton

Post by ethan21 » Thu Oct 20, 2011 11:22 pm

Hello, so I'm a relative newcomer to electronic music production. Basically, my problem is that with Ableton, all my midi controllers have a considerate delay from when I hit a note to when its transcribed into the program. I was wondering, what do I need to fix this? I was thinking about buying a soundcard but I'm not entirely sure that that will fix it. Anyways, it would be great if you guys could help me with this problem.

Yeah the soundcard is probably the problem. Though for reference you can change the latency in 'preferences' in the menu.
