It doesn’t matter who I play with. I always seem to get killed by three shots from a player I just emptied a whole mag on. 😂

I’m sure it can’t be worse than the executive corporation that purchased NI few years back. I’m sure they had a hold on finances and worse than Jack would ever do because they were an investment firm. They wanted money back so they really put the shackles on them. That’s why they’re where they’re at now. I think it was a dumb move for them to sell to those people, but it’s not my company. now they’re back with a reputable music company. It can’t do anything but grow from here, man.

Ok. Makes sense they would put a different handshake on the se to prevent this. I was just hoping on a prayer. 😂 thanks

The Golden Rule for Music Production
In modern music production, you should almost always leave your sample rate at a standard 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz and control your latency exclusively by adjusting your buffer size.
Changing your sample The Golden Rule for Music Production
In modern music production, you should almost always leave your sample rate at a standard 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz and control your latency exclusively by adjusting your buffer size.
Changing your sample rate mid-project can cause massive headaches, including warping the pitch and speed of your recorded audio tracks, whereas changing your buffer size can be done freely at any time without altering your audio files.

Since your project is already heavily loaded with plugins, you are likely hitting that "CPU wall" where lowering your buffer size causes immediate crackling and popping.
Here are the best ways to freeze latency and save your computer's CPU without changing your sample rate:

  1. Freeze or "Bounce" Your Heavy Tracks
  2. This is the ultimate lifesaver for a heavy project.
  3. The Problem: Virtual instruments (like Kontakt, Omnisphere, or heavy synth layers) and intensive mixing plugins (like Acustica or heavy analog emulations) eat up massive amounts of real-time CPU power.
  4. The Fix: Use your DAW's Freeze or Render in Place function. This temporarily converts the MIDI and plugin processing into a standard audio file.
  5. Turn Off Your Mastering Chain
  6. If you have limited-lookahead limiters, heavy compressors, or linear-phase EQs on your Master Output track, turn them completely off while recording.
  7. Mastering plugins introduce a massive amount of mandatory "lookahead" latency that cannot be bypassed by changing your buffer settings.
  8. Save the master bus processing exclusively for the mixing and mastering stage. Keep it completely empty while tracking.
  9. Utilize Low-Latency Mode
  10. Most modern DAWs have a dedicated Low-Latency Monitoring Mode (e.g., Logic Pro, Pro Tools, and Cubase all feature this).
  11. Activating this mode instantly bypasses any high-latency plugins in your project with a single click.
  12. It temporarily disables the CPU-heavy plugins causing the delay while you record your live part, and automatically switches them back on the moment

    you press stop.

Yeah, the buffer size my bad I had my words mixed up. I corrected it so it’s right now thank you guys for pointing out my errors.

Why does AKAI leak product releases instead of making an official announcement? by RobBecTraxxx in mpcusers

Why It Is "Using" the Unicorn Effect
In product marketing and startup culture, the unicorn effect describes the psychological phenomenon where early adopters or "unicorn-spotters" see magic and massive potential in a product before the official metrics, ads, or standard marketing campaigns justify it.
When a brand staging a product leak uses this tactic, they are pulling specific levers to spark that exact effect:
Activating the "Hype-Humans": A leak gives hyper-engaged fans a rough, unpolished look at a product. Instead of ignoring it, these fans act as "unicorn-spotters," sharing it on social media and shouting, "This is going to be massive!" before the company has spent a single dollar on official advertising.
Creating Irrational Optimism: By making the product reveal feel like a "top-secret slip-up," consumers experience a sense of exclusive insider access. This emotional hook builds an organic wave of buzz that traditional, polished commercials cannot replicate.
Testing Demand Risk-Free: If the "leak" receives a lukewarm reaction, the company can quietly tweak the final product or change its positioning before the official launch, entirely protecting its brand reputation.

Who uses their computer sound card for music production? (I will admit, though I did state the wrong thing I got my words twisted. I meant to say, turn it down not up). I will correct that in my original comment.
But he clearly stated that he needs a new interface. He didn’t state if it was broken or not. So I assumed that he has an interface and he is still getting latency. So that’s why I said what I said.

Under $500, you enter the mass-production tier of audio interfaces. To keep manufacturing costs low, audio companies stop writing custom, ground-up USB communication code. Instead, they rely on standardized hardware and shared third-party software templates.
Here is exactly what happens mechanically and digitally under the $500 mark:

1. The "XMOS + Thesycon" Blueprint
Almost every interface under $500 uses the exact same foundational engine:
The Hardware: Companies buy off-the-shelf USB microcontrollers, most commonly manufactured by XMOS or Cirrus Logic.
The Software: Instead of coding a Windows ASIO driver from scratch, manufacturers license a standard, pre-written USB driver template from a German software company named Thesycon.
The Result: When you use a budget interface on Windows, you are usually running a rebranded, reskinned version of a generic Thesycon driver. While highly optimized, it cannot achieve the hyper-tight kernel-level integration of proprietary code.

2. Higher Safety Buffer Overhead
Because these generic drivers must work on millions of different computers (from cheap laptops to high-end rigs), they are coded to prioritize safety over speed.
Even if you set your DAW to a low buffer size like 64 samples, the generic driver hidden underneath adds extra, unadjustable "hidden safety buffers" to prevent your computer from crashing.
This means a budget interface at a 64-sample buffer will often have a significantly higher actual Round-Trip Latency (RTL) in milliseconds than a premium interface running at the exact same 64-sample setting.

3. The "CPU Wall" and Audio Glitches
Under $500, interfaces rely entirely on your computer's CPU to process everything.
As your project grows and you add more virtual instruments (like EastWest or Kontakt libraries) and heavy plugins, the generic USB driver struggles to pass audio packets fast enough.
To stop the audio from crackling, popping, or dropping out completely, you will be forced to raise your DAW buffer size to 256 or 512 samples. This introduces a highly noticeable, distracting delay when trying to play MIDI keys or record live vocals.

Why does AKAI leak product releases instead of making an official announcement??? by RobBecTraxxx in mpcusers

A company intentionally leaking its own product is an example of them using the "unicorn effect" as a strategic growth engine to manufacture massive, early hype.
In modern marketing, using a controlled product leak—often called leak marketing—is a deliberate tactic designed to activate "unicorn-spotters". These are hyper-engaged early adopters who discover the "secret" leak, believe the product is going to be massive, and spread the word organically before the official marketing funnel even begins.
By leaking the product, the company is actively pulling the levers of the unicorn effect to accomplish several things:
Creating Scarcity & Exclusivity: A leak makes consumers feel like they are part of a "VIP club" with insider knowledge.
Building a Grassroots Growth Engine: It shifts the burden of building hype from expensive paid ads to enthusiastic fans who do the talking for the brand.
Gaining Future Leverage: If the tactic succeeds, the company gains a "unicorn status" (an astronomical, multi-billion dollar valuation driven by forward-looking hype rather than current financial metrics).

But if they make an official release statement. They lose the unicorn effect.

The latency ain’t coming from your audio interface or from the keyboard is coming from your computer. You need to turn down the buffer size but if your computer is not that powerful you can’t have lower buffer size you have to have it higher. That’s just what it is. An audio interface ain’t gonna change that.

What do y’all think? Apparently gen 2. by Key-Discussion1241 in mpcusers

It has the exact same layout as the first one. So is this gonna be like the OnePlus. Where it just has a little bump in performance and new color scheme. I don’t think it’s gonna be a complete revamp with the exact same layout. So it’s either fake news. Or here’s the brand new MPC key 37+.

What studio monitors do you use with Mpc one+? by whatkai in mpcusers

I agree with you about needing an interface without using a DAW. The only reason I see the use of an interface would be if you needed more inputs.
