All of the songs I have made so far seem to lag hard... I guess I'm experiencing latency, but I'm pretty new to production and I'm not sure what's going on really... I know I need to fix this somehow but I wouldn't know the first way or place to correct latency problems using Logic.

I'm using a Delta 44 soundcard and my driver tabs are set up properly



I want my hi hats or snares to come in quickly but when I reduce them to 32nd notes that only chops them down and plays the first bit but cuts off the tail. I guess I've found out the wrong way to speed up percussion. The only way they play properly is if I open them up to 16th notes or larger but that automatically slows the tempo of them down right away and ther is no room to push them together to boost the speed.



I'm not really sure how to begin a session tempo wise. Should I choose my tempo first and then try and work on something or work on something and then choose the tempo later. I'm mostly struggling with intros for my songs that would be at a completely different tempo (slower) than the main riff and middle sections of my song. How can I have the 1st section at 120 bpm and the middle at a different tempo? How is that done?

Thanx =)
