I was having RIDICULOUS latency when trying to record audio through my Fasttrack. I was about to shop for a new mixer, but really like the I/O on this box (# of inputs, digital out etc.) Recording was always about half a beat off and I was always "nudging" the audio to fit tracks.

After some reading, I came a cross an article that mentioned buffer sizes. I had stopped using ASIO, as it just plain didn't work, and with a quad-core PC, running on SSD with 16GB of RAM (yeah, I know BIAB is still 32-bit, but I should still get the full benefit of the first 4) I knew it was not a resource issue.

I realized that it was too HIGH a buffer in my control panel.. I went from 4096 in the ASIO/WDM box to down to 128, and PRESTO... I was in-sync. Normally, I have been setting high buffers on everything on my PC assuming caching in RAM was better than reading or writing to disk, so this seemed counter-intuitive.

Who knew?
