I seriously doubt it was the z-5500 system with 505 watts of power. 
Logitech does make a less powerful system.

Yes it is the 5 speaker setup, 6 with the subwoofer, sometimes known as a 
5.1 speaker system...  :)  Sorry, I had to do it.

Thanks for the reply.  I've been doing a bit more research since I 
posted the question and I determined that about 20 minutes ago.  I just 
bought them, can't wait until they get here.  I'll probably be deaf in a 
month or two.  lol

I did look at Walmart and saw a 5.1 system that had 75 watts, probably 
similar to the ones I have now.  These cost $105 on the site though, where 
did you see $74?

latency using Midi on XP

2011-02-03 Thread Nick Adamson

Hi All.

I'm new to the list, I'm nick, a software engineer from the UK.

When I was in my teens I did quite a bit of messing around with midi. I used 
cakewalk express and used their virtual piano software as an input device. 
This was on a windows 98 box.


Recently I've wanted to get back to doing a bit of composing again so 
managed to find the cakewalk express disk and had a play around. cakewalk 
seems to work fine on my XP laptop but the midi out on xp seems to have 
about half a second latency making it unworkable.


I've tried downloading the yamaha soft synth which seemed to have the same 
problem. I've also tried using fluid synth which claims to be a real-time 
sound font synth. I don't know much about sound fonts and although the 
latency was better with that it still wasn't usable and XP seemed to grind 
to a crawl.


I'd be happy to here any suggestions for getting this to work so that I can 
have playback and record at the same time.
The box isn't the best in the world but it's way more powerful than the old 
windows 98 box I had. I can run virtual machines on it so it should be 
easily powerful enough to do midi.


Any ideas gladly received.
Thanks.
Nick.

Hi Nick.
I say if you can run a virtual machine,
virtualize Mac.
You might be interested in getting protools/logic, but if you're not,
just install the basic Mac OS and use something like Garageband.

That should work for your needs.

2011-02-03 Thread Nick Adamson

Hi George.

Thanks for the suggestion but I don't believe that you can get a Mac based 
virtual machine that'll run on a windows host.
I'd love to be wrong about this as I'd like to try out a MAC but with out 
having to spend the big bucks on a system I may not like.


Thanks.
Nick.
