dsbw,
Have you tried a number of midi styles to confirm that the problem is consistent?
Could you please post the name of one of those that you've tried so that I can double-check.
Regards,
Noel
Let me talk about this one first because it's the easiest to answer: I've tried a bunch of different styles. The problem is worse on some than others, but I presume that's just a matter of the mix, i.e., some styles are "noisier" than others and some instruments are meant to blend more.
...okay, I just downloaded 462 and it's dramatically better on ASIO, both in terms of volume and lag, though the lag is still too large to be usable... let me review...
