ASIO drivers are the drivers that make it possible to record midi with virtually no latency. If you are looking for a card between £40 and £200, you'll probably have to go for one of the more higher priced ones in that range. Check out the M-Audio Audiophile 192 ( http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Au...le192-main.html ) which is about $200 (dunno how much that is in £) which iis a high quality card with ASIO drivers which should help you out. You can also check out ASIO4ALL which allows you to have much better latency settings on non ASIO cards. I'm using it (also have a fucking SB Live ) and I have now a 20ms latency instead of the original 185ms latency with the normal drivers You will still have to quantize after recording, but it will be close. __ "In dnb you should make people jump not swim" - Pieter Frenssen 2004 28-11-2004 12:17 peet Steppa Registration Date: 31-01-2004 Posts: 264 Helpfulness rating:  well you're not completely right surya, sb live can use the kx drivers. look it up on google. it supports asio. sucky drivers tho. __ 28-11-2004 15:05 Surya The Robot Registration Date: 04-11-2002 Posts: 11,238 Helpfulness rating:  Yeah, there are also ASIO drivers for the SB Live... which only work in Win98 So the best thing is to get ASIO4ALL if a new card is no option... __ "In dnb you should make people jump not swim" - Pieter Frenssen 2004 28-11-2004 15:55 drumnbass.be forum » Production » Production questions & answers » so what sorce controls and causes this??
