Guitar Player's Thread

Latency is a bitch :/ I don't struggle with latency at the moment really, running on 6.4-6.7ms effective latency through DAW monitor. Atm I'm running a internal PCI sound card, M-Audio Audiophile 2496. Ancient medieval technology, but the asio driver is pretty good. What really is a bitch with it is that I only have two inputs and two outputs. I don't necessarily need more than two inputs right in this moment, but I'd like to be able to use some headphones for reference without having to export the bloody thing every single time. It's also got PMS once a month where it randomly decides to change to 48khz sample rate and lock itself at that for no apparent reason, which is annoying at best.

Friend of mine is using a fucking creative soundblaster card from 97 for making music, I shit you not. He's using WDM or MME or something, it's terrible at least. He records using DI as monitor because whatever drivers he's using now gives him so much latency it sounds like he's playing with a delay pedal on with the original signal volume turned off. And he's been using it for years now :|

Sir, maybe ye would like to buy a monitor controller http://www.thomann.de/de/sm_pro_audio_mpatch_2.htm / http://www.thomann.de/de/presonus_central_station_plus.htm / http://www.thomann.de/de/mackie_big_knob.htm)? Until you get a computer with firewire ports you could use that for headphone monitoring, if that's all you're missing with your current setup. or maybe I just got you wrong. Why do you have to export the track to listen to it with hp?

Aaannnd yes, those people with the extreme latency stuff are amazing :lol: I also know a guy with EXTREME high latency in his signal roundtrip but he got used to it and is now able to hit the notes in a way (early, totally out of sync with the track is playing over) that they when they come out of his monitors match the backing track again :D

Wow :lol: Impressive!

I could, but I'll eventually end up buying a external sound card anyways so I figured I'd just go ahead and get it over with, sort of. Of course the whole matter of lacking firewire brought a new dimension to it :/ It's not ALL I'm missing, there's definitely something about not having to crawl behind my computer every time I want to swap preamp or connect a MIDI device that sounds alluring. Ease, creative flow, and that undescribable feeling that an internal PCI card isn't "enough" or it's "wrong".
I also like shiny new things :yell:.

I don't know man, I could "live" with this setup I have now, but I could also "live" with never buying a piece of gear/another guitar ever again. Although that just won't happen ;)

Either way, I won't be buying anything right -now- as I'm moving places and theres a bunch of bills and procurements that will severely handicap my economy in this month, but I'm thinking sometime next month. Unless I go full retard and buy an electric drum kit instead(New place, lots of space, gonna make a music room that I want to fill with shit i cant use so i can sit around watching all the money i have tied up in stuff i don't "need")

lol, what the hell is that picture in your avatar?

Also, just tried searching for tabs to that song and I can't find anything. If anything though, the song doesn't sound that hard, you should be able to learn it by ear. It's even slow enough tempo that it shouldn't be that hard.

I don't think Mitch posts here much anymore. I never see him. Try his youtube channels though, you might have a better change through there.
