I also have a Soundblaster Live card and had some issues with latency when using my cheapo (US $30.00) Cakewalk Music Creator 2 software. I added memory on my Dell, tweaked the sample rate on the driver, and it worked. It took a while to learn the software, but it actually works well for me. All I need is guitar, guitar, bass, vocal and drum loop.
Now I'm "back in the studio", here in my room, this time sporting a Line 6 TonePort UX1 amp modeling, USB interface. I love it. Love it. The range of tone is incredible. The free ableton lite recording software is limited to only four tracks, so I'm sticking with my Cakewalk.
Anyway here's the bottom line in the form of a question for mods and other experienced studio folk: Will this TonePort/USB unit cure all latency issues, even for computers with limited capacity? If so, it's another reason to run out and purchase one. It's an incredible little unit.
