FocusRite Scarlet Solo
Posted: Wed Nov 21, 2018 11:29 am
Hi all,
My laptop sadly died a few weeks ago - not quite sure why. I have a 2tb HDD and had 3 OS's installed: Mint, Ubuntu Studio and Win10. Mint was the first to go (after a year), then Ubuntu Studio, then Win10.
So, I did a hardware check; everything was fine, so re-installed the latest Ubuntu Studio, and purchased a new FocusRite Scarlet Solo.
The problem is, I now have quite a bit of audio latency when playing anything through it (keys, guitar, bass), making it very difficult to record.
I've had a play with the latency settings after googling the symptoms, but nothing appears to help all that much.
The Laptop should be fine, as I used to use a Behringer X-Air x18, and could record fine. I left the band I was in, and as such an 18 channel digital desk was overkill for home recording so sold it and bought the FocusRite.
Is this a known issue with that hardware, or have I simply got some setting up to do?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Dave.
