Re: Sound not quite right - am I doing something wrong?

2001-03-10 by ekegel@cone.nl

Same problem over here (latency). I was last week at the Frankfurter 
Messe and the people from the Emagic booth said it had to do with the 
sound card i'm using (lexicon core-2);
of course there was a solution...the emi2|6. I must say it worked 
great, no (hearable) latency.
