hello. this is my problem:
im pretty sure i've managed to get my asio latency down to 2.66ms (each way), so theoretically it should be somewhere around 6ms. but i cant get it under 76ms (measured by hand in adobe audition).

what can i do, 76ms is really too much for anything realtime.

i don't know wich card you use, but i succeed to have really good result with the ASIO4ALL drivers and my onboard AC97 audio chipset: [url=http://www.asio4all.com/ ]http://www.asio4all.com/
I think it will work with lot of soundcards.

hope it will help

There is a latencytest.pd in pd/doc/7.stuff/tools/latency.pd that measures your latency - it requires connecting the output of your soundcard directly to its input. I haven't used it though, I will try it later this week and report back.

I'm quite new to PD and was searching for a way to have a good performance on my laptop with builtin audio.
So I installed asio4all (xp laptop with on-board AC'97). At first I couldn't get the asio4all driver to work with PD. Reading through the documentation it seems that the default windows wavetable synth may interfere so it now works with a command line like:

pd -r 44100 -audiodev 4 -audiobuf 8 -asio -nomidi

Of course you may have to change the "4" (which is the device number on my sustem) and to tweak the 8 ms buffer. Drawback is that you have no midi... but the built-in windows midi isn't that good anyway.
