Hi All.
I'm new to the list. I've played with QWS a bit in the past but want to get
back in to doing more composing.
When I was in my teens I did quite a bit of playing around with MIDI music
on windows 98. I've recently started to look at this again.
On my windows XP laptop there seems to be a huge latency between the
time I play a note and when I here it, anything up to half a second.
Doing some googling it would appear that the built in midi stuff in Windows
XP is rubbish and that for best results I should get an external soundcard
which supports the "low latency ASIO drivers". The use of these drivers
would also be needed by the sequencing software I would be using. I'm
currently using an ancient version of cakewalk express I got free with a
magazine in 1999 and I guess it doesn't support these ASIO
drivers. Is all of this correct or is there something I can do with my
current setup?
What software would people recommend with screen readers in mind. One of
the sound cards I'm looking at comes with a cut down version of pro
tools, and one with a cut down version of a-base. Are either of these
accessible? If I'm wrong about any of this please let me know. Its been
some time since I looked in to this and stuff has changed.
Does QWS support the ASIO drivers?
I also don't want to spend a load of money either, this is just a hobby
thing.
Any information that could show a little light on this would be gratefully
received.
Thanks.
Nick.
