Yes sir, I am using the TASCAM ASIO drivers. Well, I think I'm talking about latency, maybe thats not the right term. I'm talking about the delay in hearing the note played on an instrument and hearing it through the headphones. Is that latency? And you may be right, I may not have Direct Monitoring set correctly. Suggestions as to the best setting there? Also thnks for the quick reply. I cant tell you how much i appreciate the forums and their help.
