Hi, so i just purchased a Scarlett 2nd gen 18i20, upgrading from a Scarlett 2i2. Everything has seemed great so far except
for the fact that I now have more of a latency when working in my DAW. I use FL Studio & ASIO with a buffer length of 5ms.

With the 2i2 I had no lag when pressing play on my tracks. Now I have nearly a quarter of a second before FL plays sound.
This latency of course transfers over to MIDI when trying to record with my keyboard, which is incredibly annoying as
the 2i2 with MIDI worked just fine.

The only difference with how I'm recording my audio is through a new software that came with the 18i20 called "Focusrite Control".
I've done everything to try to get this latency to disappear. How could this upgrade have made interaction with my DAW slower?

Here's a link to my ASIO settings: Link

I'm using Windows 10 64 bit.
I have an intel i7 4.00GHz CPU.

I must be missing something, but would anyone know how to fix this?

Cheers for any help!

I see that you are using ASIOAll. I would use the 18i20 native ASIO drivers. ASIOALL is just a MME/WDM wrapper that sometimes works with some audio interfaces while native drivers are make specifically for your interface. They are generally faster and less problematic.

There also may be a rate problem but I don't know for sure as I do not use ASIOALL. But one screen says 41KHz while another says 48KHz.

I hope this helps.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Definitely, use ASIO not ASIO4ALL. That alone may do it. ASIO4All is not ASIO; it is a wrapper for WDM.

I have several first-generation Focusrite Scarlett units, 6i6, 18i8 and 18i20. I just added a new second generation 18i20 to replace the older one, so I'm seeing the new Mix Control software for the first time. It's a bit puzzling.

I see you selected Custom in your screen capture. Once I figure out this new mixer, I'll come back to this thread.

Still learning and experimenting, but did you try the File, Preset choices in the MixControl?

Check one other thing, which I found was set wrong by Windows after I uninstalled my other Scarlett and installed the new one:

right click on the little speaker icon, lower right corner of the screen
click on Recording devices
select Focusrite USB
click Properties, Advanced tab
select 2 channel 16 bit 44100 Hz CD Quality
OK your way out

Also click on Playback and do the same thing.

Thank you guys so much! Seemed to have got it to work with no latency smile

The audio plays fine, but my playhead seems to be having some issues... Link

Any idea how to fix this?

EDIT: The playhead isn't really laggy anymore.. but it starts about 40 bars later than the spot I play from. Link

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
