Hi !
Anyone who knows how to set the latency for your soundcard to make as good midirecordings as possible ?
Would be nice to do some kind of test which tells if the midisettings are right.
Anyone who knows of any good midiinterface, heard of usb midi are they any good ?

the lower the latency the better.
the question is what can your gear handle and what is your output.
if you have a crap sound card use high latency or instead of outing to a vst out to microsoft midi mapper.
i have an e-mu 1820 and use 12ms of latency, which is conservative, and record midi just fine

its about the soundcard, not the midi-interface!
the delay comes from the line-in processing of the soundcard. you can modify the time in the daw like cubase for example by milliseconds on the midi-track. just make it like 50-150 milliseconds earlier. |

Like Mantik says..
though i have a question.
im going to buy a M-Audio midisport 4x4 soon, its usb, dunno if its usb2...
could anyone tell me if its a reliable midi-interface? or if there are any usb 2 midi-interfaces? or something else i should get.
the thing is that i will be expanding my midi stuff, firstly im going to use my Yamaha aw1600 for mixing and other midi stuff and i also want my yamaha An1x working the sametime...
also in the future ill be getting a nordlead 3 and i also want to have that midi connected...
any ideas... sorry Conny if im stealing a little of your show here...
though i have a question for you, which soundcard do you have?

M Audio USB Products are good ... they are all USB2 .. i have an Ozone and it's ideal for a small/home setup and for when ur on the move .. or the Oxygen 8 even!!!
But dude .. it's all bout the sound card ... make sure you really think about it before you go for anything ... budgets are the usual contraint, but i think if you can take a lil pain and invest in a MOTU, you should not have any problems whatsoever cos it's a top level professional product!!
Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platimun Pro sound card (7.1)..... i'm stuck with it from my gaming and homeband recording days!
Goes good with 10MS till my track grows to more than 2 minutes (on Reason) - thats when i have to add more synths, samples, fx etc..... Then KAPUT - CLICKS-POPS galore!!
Some say these results are good (pfffft) .... but to me it's F**KALL!!!
Any suggestions?
B'om Shankara!!

Some other things of mention pertaining to midi & cubase:
I've run into other issues which have caused midi to have an apart latency. For example, I just switched on an option for midi timestamps in cubase device setup (sorry, at work right now & can't remember the exact setting name), and it solved my lag when recording midi from my Yamaha EX5 into a MOTU 828 MKII.
I also remember have to put some sort of midi port file into the cubase root directory from a sub-directory to correct a timing issue with previous version of CuBase.
