1. Your welcome

2. I wasn't hating, more just laughing your question was pretty funny

3. Stickies are the threads at the top of the production studio forum

4. your sound card is not legit for serious audio work. It will work for you for now, but you shouldn't say its "top of the line" that was really what I was laughing about, it looks quite ignorant to say anything is "top of the line", look up the digidesign or apogee websites to see close to "top of the line" and it goes higher than that too. You will always have serious "lag" (called latency) on a soundblaster card. Fact.

Yeah, costizzle, sound blasters are top of the consumer line. not top of the music making line. your sound blaster probably cost $100-200, average music production soundcards cost about $400, with some going up to $1,000

Now, you need to listen, because we have told you already man. Turn down the BUFFER LENGTH. Buffer length is NOT bit depth or sample rate. Look it up in the manual for your sound card, I dont think anyone here would be familiar with the ASIO control panel for sound blasters... if they even have one!

i shall look into this stuff. thanks echo.
