Okay so I've been making music for a decent amount of but the whole use of computers as a part of the process is something fairly new to me. Before I say anything else I'm using a laptop with Windows Vista with the factory sound hardware (yeah I know, it's trash; I'm not made of money).
One problem I've encountered: latency. Before when I would use Audacity to record things, minor latency problems could be fixed by manually aligning tracks after I record them. But now that I'm using MIDI controllers, this is not an option, and the latency problem has to go away (or at least diminish). Is this a hardware issue that can only be resolved by buying a new soundcard? Otherwise, how do I help fix it? I've already tried eliminating background processes that don't need to run.
Also, what kind of soundcard should I look at? The whole VCI-100 deal isn't so much what I'm into, but I do need something decent with line-in that is high enough quality to do some decent work.
Sorry for being long-winded. Thanks for your help.
