Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi!

I'm playing my DTxpress trying to record on my PC in cakewalk.

My local is set to off on my DTXpress, and the PC is set to use the 
dtxpress as the output for that track, and when I play on the kit, 
it gets recorded successfully, and I can hear when I hit a pad 
through my dtxpress's amp.

Here's my problem.  When I try to record along with Cakewalk's 
metronome, I try to hit the pads in time with the beat, but the 
sound is taking too long to come out of the speakers.

I suspect that that's just the way things are, and that I've got a 
basic problem with the way I've got this all setup.  How all do you 
configure all this for recording in cakewalk?

Thanks!

Chris
