Audio interface
Posted on: 31.03.2012 by Malorie Flamenco
I am using my Numark DJ IO as an audio interface for production right now and either because of the soundcard or my laptop, i get huge cpu load alike delay, and lag on the DAW. Audio keeps cracking etc.

Laptop is Core2Duo 2.0 ghz with 4 gig ram etc, not super new but not that crappy as well. So is the audio interface is my problem, if so what are some good audio interfaces in below 0-300$ range?

Has Ableton gotten that bad? My computer's newer than his and a Mac, but I routinely run at 32 or 64 samples in Logic with a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, which is a cheap USB piece of crap (that sounds okay for the price). Maschine is set to 128 with my internal sound card. 256 is the border of usable if you want to play parts instead of drawing them for me.

There's got to be something weird going on there.

Either that or roll back to XP, Vista is the worst place you want to be with audio software.

01.04.2012		I run the latency pretty low my self, but I have a new MBP though so I can get away with it. But when I was on my old Mac with a 2.2 Duo Core and 4GB of ram I had to run it a bit higher than he currently has it, but I was also running some intensive VSTs so I'm sure that wasn't helping the cause

But like some one else said, maybe Vista might be the issue as well.
