Drumagog - how to control the latency?

I've loaded a demo of drumagog lately and I wonder how I can get rid of the lateny. I use Superior Drummer 2.0 and I want to replace kick & snare, but it seems the original kick on the overhead- and room-channels hits a few ms earlier. What can i do about it?
 
Bounce the drumagog down to an audio file, bring it in, and move it into time. There are other ways to get around it with audio file drums but I don't know the whole midi/ superior drummer thing. There is also a slider in the advanced tab for latency, but the demo may be a fixed latency.
 
I hear a lot about latency in drumagog, but I've never noticed any? Nuendo has plugin latency compensation but I dunno. Never had a problem.
 
I use drumagog every project that I touch. There are 3 different ways drumagog handles latency. Go to the advance tab and youll have a choice between SIMPLE, LIVE OR ADVANCE. Now if you choose live your not getting much latency at all but it fucks with the sound. Simple is a little less quality but far less latency and Advance is full quality and tons of latency. I usually just go with simple. Now once youve chosen this go back to the main page of drumagog. Right near the ANALOG and VISUAL buttons toward the bottom of drumagog will visually show you how many ms it is delaying the sample. So what you must do is insert drumagog on your track that you recorded. Make a new track and bus the output of your recorded track to the input of your new track. Record the hits from drumagog and manually nudge each time you either stop recording or if your lucky enough and it doesnt double trigger you can do it after youve recorded the whole track.

I hope this helps!
 
Don't use the Fixed Latency instance. Set it to MIDI IN and its latency will go down to 0ms, then use the same MIDI file that's keying your Superior kicks and snares to key Drumagog.

unless you have pro tools 8; in which case, midi in on drumagog is broken
