Hi,
I have my keyboard hooked up to power tracks. Works fine.
But, when I try to listen through my PC, the headphones plugged into my PC for example, the playback in the headphones is delayed, maybe a half a second after I hit the key I hear it in my headphones.
Ditto via the PC speakers.
Not sure why the delay.
???
Thanks
Jeff

Try ASIO drivers in the audio prefs area if available.
What you are experiencing is called latency.

I did adjust the latency with that supplied audio.
When chosing ASIO driver select in the audio adjust dialog. When I exit that it says I need to choose an ASIO driver, shows me a box that has none. Close out of there and PT is pretty much dead. Need a Ctl/Alt/Del to get it running again.

You must not have asio drivers available then. Try ASIO4All. http://www.asio4all.com/

Hi,
I downloaded and installed the ASIO drivers, selected them in the Audio Driver Type Box, do not see them coming up in the Midi Devices output drivers. So I still have the delay effect.
In Midi devices drivers I have available, Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth, Microsoft MIDI Mapper, and Yamaha Portable G-1. The Yamaha driver does nothing, no sound, the MS drivers are both slow.
Is there suppose to be a way to get the ASIO driver in here?
Thanks
Jeff

ASIO is the audio driver, then use a DXi synth

Hi,
If you mean to use a DXI Synth, check the box in MIDI Driver Setup, Re-Route MIDI playback to default Dxi/VSTiSynth. Check that and I have no sound.
Also, conntacted support. They had me get the ASIO Driver also, and had me get LoopBe Internal MIDI. When I use that I get no sound output.
So what MIDI output driver should I use with this ASIO. Made no change in the deplay, and the LoopBe has no output.
Thanks
Jeff

Once you check the box for DXi synth, you have to select one in the dropdown. If there isn't one, you need to get one. There are a couple that come on the install CD. What operating system? 32 bit or 64 bit OS?

What version of the PT program, and is Vista 32 or 64 bit?
I may have mis-spoke about a synth being included depending on versions. I'll have to look around depending on the answers.

Hi,
It is a 64 bit, looked on both my cd's and there are no drivers.
I would think they should have installed. Not in the drop down though.

When you installed PTPA [I presume you have version] 2011, there is a checkbox for installing the CoyoteWT. It's basically a wrapper for the Microsoft Wavetable sounds you get with your OS, which can let you use those sounds as a DXi synth. It's not great, but works fine for testing purposes. If it's not there, then you may not have installed it.
Or you have an older version of PTPA, which did not come with a DXi synth.
For better sounds, you might want to think about either the Coyote Forte ($40) or ordering the Cakewalk Music Creator 5 (also $40), which comes with the TTS-1 DXi synth. Both of those sound much better than the sounds you get with Windows natively.
I would run the install program again and just select the option to install the CoyoteWT and see if that helps.

Hi
I got coyote driver from support which installed into my program files .
When I try to add that as a plugin the OS will not allow acess to the file.
Might have to do a re install

If the OS doesn't allow it, then your UAC is set too high. Or you might want to try right clicking on the installation file and selecting "Run As Administrator".

I agree with jford.
Either run as administrator or check the User Account Control settings. This can sometimes prevent the OS from allowing some functions. (control panel-user accounts) Set it so the computer asks if you want to allow changes, not so it prevents all changes.

Well run as administrator did not help, and in User Accounts I am the administrator.
One other note when I go to the DirectX/VST Window, Options/ Register a new DX plugin, it is looking for a .ax file, I can change the dropdown to a .dll though.

There's a difference between being the administrator in Vista and Windows 7 and the level of control you have as an administrator.
Personally, unless you are paranoid about internet viruses (you are running anti-virus, I presume), then I would just turn UAC off and give it a try to see if it works.
We're not denying that you are having a problem, we are just trying to get to the bottom of it by having you try the things we have experienced in the past.
We have all experienced latency and have overcome it, but you have to set it up right to make it work.
If turning UAC doesn't work, then we're going to probably have to start from the beginning with the basics to get you up and running.

Hi,
OK, turned off UC this time, and it did work. I now can select CoyoteWT for a default synth. Don't have my keyboard right here so I will be testing the delay issue tommorow. Hoepfully this will fix that.
Thanks

Well I finally got back to this tonight, connected my keyboard to PT.
As I noted in the previous post, I was able to get the CoyoteWT plugin to work in PT.
I have the ASIO audio driver selected, go to the MIDI devices, I have Yamaha Portable G-1 as an input driver.
For output driver I have LoopB Internal MIDI. I have the Reroute MIDI Playback checkbox selected, and in the Dropdown I have CoyotoWT as the choice. I play my keybaord, see the GUI keys move but I have no audio output into my PC headphones.
So still not even to deal with the delay yet.
Jeff
