ADDICTIVE DRUMMER 2 FREE TRIAL SOFTWARE
There is some software called ASIO4ALL which is free, and overrides windows sound buffers, with this you can get down to 10 - 15ms using the standard built in sound card as long as the laptop is capable, to put that in perspective, thats about 3 - 4 meters of sound travel. The key is to have a tiny buffer, a bottle top instead of a bucket, that means the operating system has to spend more time putting smaller amounts of data in it, if it runs out you get the pops and scratches noises.

Latency is totally down to buffers, if your sound card runs at say 44.1Khz 24 bit, that means the sound card needs 24 bits of data 44100 times a second, the buffer is like a bucket with a hole in it so that you get the constant drip out the bottom 44100 times a second but the operating system on your computer needs to do other things as well, so what it does it throw a cup full of water into this bucket every now and again, the problem is that the bigger the bucket (buffer) the longer it takes for the water (data) to go from the top to out the bottom. I've been there, done it and came to realize that e-drums just aren't suited for drummers who are hesitant to spend a fortune. For the best experience you have to dig way too deep in your pockets and get a td-30 or rather wait for the td-1000 to come out. In comparison: e-kits have a long way to go and latency isn't the only issue they come up short with. After trying all that is possible with e-drums and getting it to work without noticeable latency, i sold my e-kit and bought an acoustic set. This was also the case with EZdrummer, even way more than with AD. What i did notice was that the longer my laptop computer was on, the more the latency increased. I got rid of that and installed XP which made things a whole lot better. Seriously, if you want the least latency possible go get it.Īnother thing that might cause latency is your windows updater namely that horrible help center from the latest editions.
If you have set up your midi correctly, its simply a matter of selecting your e-kit and there you go. One of the options i really liked was the e-kit selector. But, their pre-mixed drum kits are just a lot further from the sound I want out of drums than Steven Slate out of the box, for whatever reason, so I've pretty much had to cobble together my own custom kits.May i suggest you give Addictive Drummer a try? I used that software when i had a td-4 last year and i found the latency to be barely noticeable. On the flip side, Superior Drummer 3's UI is much more user friendly, and it's much more intuitive to tweak drum sounds to match your preferences, and the cymbal samples are much more convincing. Also, FWIW, I find SSD's cymbal samples to be lacking - they don't sound as lush or full as a professionally recorded drum track should sound, especially not the hi-hats. It's so bad that, at least for me, it kinda canceled out the quality of the drum kits, which are "pre-mixed" to more or less sound like a finished, professionally produced drum track right out of the box. IMO, Steven Slate Drums has one of the most maddeningly unusable UIs I have ever experienced in music software. I have Steven Slate Drums 5 and Superior Drummer 3, but primarily use Superior Drummer 3 (Trigger is something completely different - that's for replacing a previously recorded drum track with samples, rather than programming a drum track from scratch).
