M-Audio Axiom-25 Latency

Trying to pick-up where I left off some months ago....
 
Want to record bass and fiddle parts to go with guitar and vocal audio I record.
 
Tried to use my keyboard with TTS, SI-Strings, etc., but the delay between key press and sound
was so great there was no point.
 
I tried adjusting the buffers, but that made no marked difference.  Maybe I didn't try enough combinations?
 
I have the keyboard running to PC via a USB 2.0, not to the M-Audio Fast Track Pro with MIDI In/Out cables.
 
Since I haven't been successful with the keyboard, I'm starting to use/learn PRV, which seems easier than a keyboard anyway.
 
Two questions:  What can I do to make the keyboard work?  What synth (Cakewalk or other) could I use to get some good old country or bluegrass fiddle going?
 
Thanks.

    Maybe you just didn't try the right combination. Not trying to be snarky, but if you don't hear a noticeable difference, you may be adjusting the wrong thing.
    The controller will not introduce latency, whether connected via MIDI or USB.
    Latency comes almost exclusively from your sound card.
    Do you have everything going through the FTP? Are your monitors connected to the FTP or to the PC?
    The FTP should give you decent latency with WDM or ASIO. You will not get acceptable latency with MME. Ever.


    Bring us up to speed on what you have done and are doing now.
    I have a hard time remembering last Tuesday, and that discussion was a long time ago.

    Okay, got it.  One, I recently connected the controller and the Fast-Track Pro via a powered USB hub.  Read here that's not the best, ditched the hub.  Two, I don't fully understand midi yet nor all of the functions of the controller, so, uh, pressing every dang button on the thing is not a good way to troubleshoot.  Spent a little time with the manual - again.  Three, I reinstalled the drivers for both Fast Track Pro and Axiom-25.
     
    Here are current settings.
     
    Driver:  WDM/KS  (no change)
    Audi Driver Bit Depth: 24  (no change)
    Sampling Rate: 44100  (no change)
    Buffers: 2  (no change)
    Buffer Size:  11.6ms / 512 samples  (changed, no delay)
     
    Thank you.
