emstrjg,

First, welcome to the forum, nice to have you here!

A few questions if I may. First, are you using an external audio interface or the sound card built-into the computer? I assume you're editing MIDI data when you are using the editable notation window so what MIDI sound engine are you using; that might be an external hardware solution, or software like Coyote WT, Sforzando, Windows GS Wavetable or some other third party application.

Screenshots of your Band-in-a-Box midi and audio settings would be very helpful in better understanding the latency issue. While latency can not be eliminated, it can be minimized and some other users may have some ideas to test.

However, one last thought. Your post will be seen by more users if you start a new message thread.
