Hoping you guys can help me out here. Pretty please. Setting up the newest version of Superior Drummer in X2 to be triggered with my Yamaha DTX900 E-drum set. Never had latency with just the Yamaha's own drum module. I tried bumping up the Prepare using millisecond buffer parameter from 250 to 500. It worked until the next time I hit record. The latency would then return. It turns out that I can actually adjust the "Prepare using..." parameter to any value and it will behave as I stated above. It's the act of changing the value, not the value itself that seems to "reset" the latency issue. But then it returns as soon as I try to record. Toggling the audio echo on/off doesn't seem to matter. Thanks again for your help.

This is the forum for the older version so next time look to the top of the list for the x forum

But I use a set of digital drums and what I do is monitor using the brain while tracking, Otherwise there will always be some sort of latency, you can't get away from it. SOme systems it will be way up there above 12 ms but even 3 ms can bother me with drums. 

Latency will be worse if there are any VST efx running too, Disable all efx bins while tracking
