This is my first post so I will start with a quick introduction. My name is Jim and I've been and on and off musician for the better part of 30 years. I've owned a Roland Fantom-X6 for about 3-4 years with the intent of re-learning keyboard playing and programming/creating tracks. However, things just never quite clicked for me so I have not done nearly as much as I would have liked on it.
Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago. Came across a few videos on YouTube with various DAW's that intrigued me, so started investigating and sampling current DAW's, finally deciding that Ableton Live Suite was the one I wanted to try.
I'm currently in the trial period and am attempting to immerse myself and learn as much as I can before ultimately deciding to purchase. I picked up Ask Video's training tutorials and got through the first 5-6 (level 1) last night, but something that I saw in the 2nd tutorial now has me concerned that I will probably need to purchase a higher-end audio card in order to maximize my use of Live.
This is what I base my concern on: In the video, the audio setting screen shows 'Buffer Size' at 256 samples and Input & Output Latency at under 7ms. However, on my screen, I have a greyed out '0 Samples' in 'Input Buffer' and '4096 Samples' (changeable) in 'Output Buffer'. My Input Latency says 0 ms but Output and Overall are at 92.9 ms. Granted, I am pretty much a complete beginner at this point but from what I've gleaned, neither the 0 samples for input buffer or 92.9 MS for latency are even close to being acceptable. In the driver type box, it shows “MME/DirectX” as the only option.
I’m assuming my problem is that I currently do not have an add-on sound card installed in my desktop system, so I am looking for recommendations to get me what I need. Here’s my current desktop setup:
- Intel i7-2600k

- Asus P8P67LE (B3 Rev) MB
- Windows 7 Pro 64
- 8 GB RAM
- NVidia GeForce GTX-550Ti
- Over 4TB free hard drive space
I did a search in this forum and saw that apparently RME comes highly recommended? I found the following 2 on Amazon:
- RME HDSP PCI desktop inteface for Multiface, Digiface for $329
- RME HDSP 9632 PCI audio interface, 32-Channel 24-Bit/192kHz for $499
Firstly, this is more than I expected to spend, esp the 2nd one, but frankly, I don’t mind spending the money if the product is superior and truly needed. However, my bigger concern with these is that I am a bit baffled by the ports on these things. The first one appears to have only a Fire-wire port. I’m ashamed to say I don’t even recognize the ports on the 2nd one. I guess I do not understand how these differ from your more typically used sound cards. Do you have to buy something additional to plug into the Firewire port… for instance, to plug your speakers into? I currently use a nice set of Bose Companion 3 satellites and sub on this PC but they plug into a regular 1/8” audio jack port.
When I was building my current system a few months ago, I was considering the Asus sound card below but opted wait and see how the onboard audio sounded. But yet again, this does not appear to have a standard 1/8” speaker out port, so I’m not sure how I would hook up my current speakers into this.
ASUS Xonar Essence ST 24-bit 192KHz PCI Interface Audio Card, for $210
The ports on the following SB card below are more of what I am used to dealing with (just for reference). But I’m assuming that at under $100, this card would not be sufficient for running Live well.
Creative Sound Blaster Recon3D THX PCIE Sound Card SB1350
So bottom line, would be looking for your recommendations on best cards to support Live, as well as how to hook up my current speakers if I get a card without the 1/8” speaker out plug. Price wise, around $300-350 would be optimal but could probably go close to $500 if I really needed to (dang, that’s almost as much as my entire PC cost to build lol).
Sorry for the long message but I wanted to be thorough. Thanks in advance for your help!
