Working very well but we need a little bit more flexibility on the main buffer slider.
On ADI 1980 onboard sound device using 48khz synced samplerate you get usable 1.33 ms of latency (64 samples) by engaged the -Use Hardware Buffer- and everything to there lowest settings you get some unnoticeble pops and clicks when the cpu is working something else beside the audio software and when using high load VST plugins.
Moving the -Use Hardware Buffer- up to 2ms and plus the 64 samples from the main buffer slider sound clears up completely and you get usable 3ms of latency without any problems at any cpu load.
The problem in this setup is that the Main Buffer does not do any improvement between 64 and 128 samples, on 128 you get dead stable where ever the Use Hardware Buffer slider is, so on 128 samples and Engaged - Use Hardware Buffer- with slider on 0ms you get 2.67 ms input and 2.67 ms output ( combined 5.33ms when record and monitor at the same time) without any problems dead stable the best way to use it.
When i need to record a midi track usualy i drop the buffer to the minimum 64 samples total on 48000khz to get 1.33ms latency to record my midi messeges and hear what i do instantly and it would be nice if i can get even lower latency to improve my timing on the keyboard so i dont have to quantize the track.
I like to give a big thanks to Michael for writing and updating this very usefull little software so we can do at the homecomputer what we can do in a studio without spending more cash for a dedicated sound board.
My main request to Michael is that if its not too much hassle to add 32 and 16 samples on the main buffer for more flexibility so we can get 0.67 ms latency on the output.
PS. The latency times written in the post above are not effected by the number of channel used for recording or playback disabling the input or the output channel does not have any effect on the sound or the cpu load what so ever and the cpu load does not have any effect on the sound unless it hits 100% load from using too much VST plugins, deferent software does not have any effect on the latency or sound whatsoever tested on Cubase, Ableton, FL, NI Traktor and various deferent soft synth that use ASIO interface. The machine is a not a expensive computer AMD Athlon XP model 2400+ frequency 2Ghz 1Gb memory ADI 1980 onboard sound with very old Soundmax driver year 2002 it plays MME, DS, WDM and ASIO4ALL at the same time without any problem.
