Hi, just hooked up my UR22mkII - installed the drivers, rebooted etc. The device is recognized but the latency is awful, although in Reaper it says “~11ms”. The delay is more like half a second!? What is going on?
I am coming from an old M-Audio Audiophile 2496 internal PCI card. I uninstalled the drivers & stuff for that before I did anything!?
I installed ASIO4ALL and achieved better latency, but still I was getting better (instant) with my old Audiophile card!?
I know something is up my end but I dunno where to look, pls HELP!?
front of unit “MIX” knob is full-clockwise “DAW”
recording (trying to) in latest Reaper
Windows 7 64bit Home
i5-4690
16GB RAM
etc
Thanks, jaslan. Yes, I selected the Yamaha ASIO drivers in Reaper, and I have also tried the ASIO4ALL driver.
My steps were:
I uninstalled the previous M-Audio drivers & rebooted (the PCI card is still in there, would that be a problem?)
I disconnected all USB cables except mouse & keyboard & installed the Yamaha ASIO drivers from the website, then rebooted
Connected the UR22mkII and installed the latest firmware - rebooted
speakers connected, “MIX” control fully clockwise to “DAW” setting, guitar plugged straight into “R” input
(I am using USB power, no external 5VDC adapter?)
The latency is a huge problem, that I never had before with my M-Audio card & drivers?
Do I have some sort of driver conflict or something? I don’t think my system is that cluttered up with junk or anything. It’s a fairly good fast setup!?
No FX! The Yamaha ASIO drivers just don’t want to play? With ASIO4ALL I have it set to 320 samples and Reaper informs me 8.7ms latency. I turned on the 48V “phantom power” switch at t he back of the UR22 and that helps a bit? But I shouldn’t need that on with just a guitar plugged straight in, should I? 8.7ms I shouldn’t be able to discern any delay, right? Yet I can still hear a “slight” delay? Although it might be usable now, but still…?
Phantom power is completely unrelated, and since you are starting out in DAW usage it would be a good idea to learn what it’s for, and what it does. (It’s not related to latency)
There is always latency if the audio does a round trip through your computer and back out the interface.
It sounds like the UR22 is working correctly, so if there’s something in your DAW setup that’s causing a problem, you’ll probably find more answers in the Reaper forums, where people use the same software as you.
