With my utter lack of knowledge on the subject, I've decided that perhaps it's my audio interface (Behringer UCA200) that's causing my realtime woes. Time to try a new soundcard perhaps?

Any recommendations out there? It'll need to be USB and able to handle low latency, though the more basic the better - I already have a nice mixer, so one in and one out is all I need. I'd also prefer to keep this as much under $100 as possible.


Suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi Holotone,

Have a look at the "Jam Lab", it's very basic and cheap.
1 "big" jack line-in
1 "little" jack head phone output
1 USB to plug on the PC.
Low latency (17 ms on my PC for instance)

Thanks for the suggestion - Is the 1/4" jack mono or stereo? Are you able to run in realtime with this device? Is this going to be much of an upgrade from a Behringer UCA200?

Thanks!

You will find all the details on m-audio's page http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/JamLab-focus.html
But I think the input is mono.
Yes you can run in RT with it.

Sorry I don't know the Behringer so I couldn't compare.

The M-Audio transit seems to be similar, with stereo in / out:

Anyone have experience with this piece of hardware?

THis Behringer works OK for me. I can run jackd even on a G4-Ibook with
it. On my AMD64-Laptop with ubuntu32 rt-kernel it allows working with
about 10 ms latency....
Yet the sound of it is 2nd-class at best...

Wowzers.. then perhaps my sound issues have more to do with wonkiness with realtime than anything - Thanks for the info!
