hi,
search the archive for low latency on windows (playing with priority). but of course i recommand you to switch to linux with a realtime kernel. i have a firepod (firewire soundcard - using freebob / ffado) and my latency is very low, it's around 7 ms.
this is how i start pd -nosleep -rt -audiobuf 64 -jack
jack audio connection kit (low latency for soundcard). you will need to play with priority in linux too (/etc/limits.conf - search the archive). i would recommand to uninstall or disable updatedb. use qjackctl to simplify your life.

I want desperately to be able to process guitar in "real time" with PD.
I have a Sony VAIO laptop and Edirol FA-66 Firewire soundcard.
It seems that using Windows is not an option, since I get outrageously high audio latency with PD, and a search through the mail list archives suggests that the consensus is that this is unavoidable in Windows.
I'm trying to get the FA-66 working with Ubuntu, but I'm not quite smart enough to understand how to do this.
What I'm wondering is:
- What OS/hardware combinations have you found to result in low audio
latency with PD? 2. Isit possible to accomplish this with Ubuntu and the FA-66, or should I give up and try something else? 3. If it is possible with Ubuntu, are there other resources for figuring this out, other than stumbling through web forums that assume I understand more than I do?
Thanks for your help!
Joe
