When you use a MIDI keyboard it's important to have a low latency (buffer), right? The latency in most off my audio app's is about 70ms. Is that low enough or will it be a pain in the ass when playing the keyboard? |

need to get it a lot lower than 70 ms. 10 or 20 ms is the best. |

If I make it much lower I get a lot of hissing and cracking. Kind of strange 'cause this is a fairly new pc with a quite good soundcard. Any tricks to lower it without getting hissing and cracking? |

Wahoo! I managed to get it to 10ms! (The sound was cracking because I had polling and hardware buffer enabled) Let's see if I can get it even lower.....
edit: Seems like 10ms is the lowest I can go.  |

Try apps that support asio drivers. You'll should be able to get to atleast 5 ms, but 2 must be possible.
Eventhough, 10 is (er) less than enough (changing sayings always is odd) for average, non-live usage.

That depends.. I have an Audigy I and sometimes using DirectSound gives better results because it's not really an ASIO card. |

DirectSound is the better way to go as it doesn't have to go through too many layers of translation, hence "fast". My MIDI keyboard is set up around 10-20 ms also. Too bad there is no expression controller interface though (as I mentioned in my MIDI posts here). |
