Lol
1/ all soundcards have latency
2/ sound blaster are NOT top of the line and hence have even more latency than most sound cards.
3/ sample rate has nothing to do with latency, most soundcards have a setting called buffer or latency which you can lower
4/ Please explain what you mean about synths? Are you trying to route MIDI out of cubase and into a hardware synth, or trying to route midi out of your keyboard...?

Originally posted by costizzle i have a soundblaster soundcard and its pretty top of the line yet when i connect my midi controller to it and try to run sounds off my synth and synth sounds in cubase it lags when i press the keys. i heard about latency and put my sample rate all the way down but that doesnt seem to help...any suggestions?

Dude, I already told you what you have to do in the thread you started specifically for this issue.

Your audio buffer is too long, you need to shorten it.

Sorry to dissapoint, but soundblasters are far from top of the line, infact theyre basically bottom of the line . If you want to get any decent performance out of it, you need to install an ASIO driver. ASIO is a low latency sound driver basically... Seeing as soundblasters don't come with an official ASIO driver, you need to download and install ASIO4ALL. Google it

$10 says this guy is rubez?

Mwa ha I got to laugh at the newbie first

Lol, just read that other thread he posterd, obviously new, but still, quite polite compared to rubez... Costizzle, do yourself and everyone else a favour and read the stickies, then read the manual. Once you do this, if it is still unclear what is going on, nothing anyone here says can help you.

i've used ASIO4ALL and it doesn't seem to make a difference in latency. i still get clicks and pops in FL studio if i have too many VSTs running at once and guitar rig still lags like a bitch. is that because i'm using a cheap-ass SB USB card, or is my comp not good enough? (AMD 3400+ 64bit processor, 1gb RAM)

So many issues here, I think we already discussed ASIO4ALL and snap crackle and pop in this thread, so read back for that, short version: no ASIO4ALL won't help. Yes the soundblaster is crap, upgrading would help... maybe... a bit.
Your computer should be good enough too, but your expecting too much out of a computer to expect to play a live guitar in and use that as an amp modeller. Forget about this, it won't work atm, maybe not ever. I've been and tried, buy a hardware amp modeller.

With a decent soundcard this definetely is possible.

NI guitar rig should be right for the job.

care to elaborate? the poster before you just said it won't work..

1. thanks for replying

2. you guys dont need to be hatin on the newbie, i just dont know much about this stuff so i asked, you cant blame me.

3. i dont know what stickies are so please explain.

4. my sound card is legit and has an asio driver in it. but i just dont know how to work it all. i have a fast computer just for some reason it lags, im trying to get the sound bank from my midi controller/synth into cubase so i can record those sounds.
