While using my computer as an effects processor, I've discovered that my motherboard's built-in sound has annoyingly high latency- about 50 ms round trip. Can any of you suggest a cheapish (<$50) sound card which has much lower latency (hopefully less than 15 ms one way)?



None.

What inputs/whatever do you need? I mean an Audigy SE is fine for sound and stuff but I don't know what exactly you're doing.

Have you tried using ASIO as audio driver? It works for me, cuts down the latency. Found out that it was windows the one that produces the latency in most cases.
Depending on what program/method your using to make your computer an effects processor ASIO might or might not be supported, though. There's a couple of great programs like record & reason that support it and have awesome effects (plus ability to get moar) and nice recording features.

I use this, since it was required for me to install FL Studio. I've never had problems with anything sound related after installing this.



None.

If you're using it as an effects processor, you should be using a proper Firewire connection to a mixer to reduce latency as much as possible while retaining sound quality. What precisely are you trying to do and with what gear?

I don't care particularly about sound quality. If I had the kind of money for the setup you're talking about, I would have the money for a decent standalone effects processor.

I'm not using Reason or Guitar Rig (I refuse to pirate both because I have too much respect for their developers), so ASIO4All isn't much help to me.

ASIO4All is also compatible with FL Studio which can be used as an effects processer iirc.

Vrael -- It is, and I could definitely use a company with a commitment to flexibility, quality, and customer satisfaction to provide effective solutions to dampness and humidity in my urban environment.

NudeRaider -- Vrael
Vrael shouted: Idk, I was looking more for a dehumidifer company which maybe stands out as a beacon of relief amidst damp and unpredictable climates of bustling metropolises. Not sure Amazon qualifies
sounds like moisture control is often a pressing concern in your city
[06:50 pm]
Vrael -- Maybe here on the StarEdit Network I could look through the Forums for some Introductions to people who care about the Topics of Dehumidifiers and Carpet Cleaning?
[06:49 pm]
Vrael -- Perhaps even here I on the StarEdit Network I could look for some Introductions.
[06:48 pm]
Vrael -- On this Topic, I could definitely use some Introductions.
[06:48 pm]
Vrael -- Perhaps that utilizes cutting-edge technology and eco-friendly cleaning products?
[06:47 pm]
Vrael -- Do you know anyone with a deep understanding of the unique characteristics of your carpets, ensuring they receive the specialized care they deserve?

NudeRaider -- Vrael
Vrael shouted: I've also recently becoming interested in Carpet Cleaning, but I'd like to find someone with a reputation for unparalleled quality and attention to detail.
beats me, but I'd make sure to pick the epitome of excellence and nothing less.

Vrael -- It seems like I may need Introductions to multiple companies for the Topics that I care deeply about, even as early as Today, 6:03 am.
