Kinda just struggling trying to get my guitar interface sound good without any DELAY. Just wondering if anyone can give me their settings or just give me some ideas.
#Best settings for guitar?

I've been having some trouble with ASIO4ALL and it honestly sounds like shit
FL ASIO sounds great just shitty 1 sec delay which is annoying

If you have an interface, install/use the dedicated driver.
If you don't have an interface (or a dedicated driver) ASIO4ALL is the lowest latency you'll get, but it has some quirks.

I would use my dedicated driver (Universal Volt) but I need special headphones for my interface for some reason
quartz mauve
Special headphones? Or just a quarter inch adapter?
They're like $2 if that's the part your missing.
digital pumice
Nope it's not an adapter I would need a set of headphones designed for my interface
quartz mauve
Are you using bluetooth/wireless headphones?
digital pumice
No I am using wired headphones
quartz mauve
The UA volt has a 1/4" headphone jack on the front, that's very standard on audio equipment.

No I am using wired headphones
you should be able to use any headphones. Maybe you need a 3,5mm to 6,3mm adapter?
quartz mauve
Most consumer stuff has switched to an 1/8" plug, so you'd need an adapter.
digital pumice
ah ok
without the need of an adapter or having to pay for something would there be a better driver I could use?
Or if I can just fix my 1 sec delay problem I would be set. I used FL ASIO no problem before I had to reset my pc
quartz mauve
No not really. Mixing/matching audio devices is not Windows' specialty.
Windows can do it, but you'll have like 60ms latency, maybe more if using multiple devices.
Asio4all can also do it, but its kind of a pain, and will not share with Windows.
On MacOS you can get away with this no problem, but it's quite a pain on Windows.
digital pumice
Damn
sleek bone
you already have an interface, so you should also use it😃
digital pumice
I had this interface for about a year now and had no problems with it until recent
It's obviously something with my FL I forgot to fix or add
quartz mauve
You've had a UA Volt for a year, and have never experienced the glory of a dedicated ASIO driver? Cursed.
digital pumice
Never thought I had to. FL ASIO was working fine at the time
It kinda bugs me how i had FL ASIO working but now all of a sudden it has delay
quartz mauve
Take a screenshot of your audio settings panel, it can help us guide you.
quartz mauve
That's the asio config panel. Grab the one before this.
digital pumice
quartz mauve
Yeah, that looks normal. 60ms ish output latency, so ~120ms round trip.
digital pumice
It has a slight delay
When I have asio4all turned on I notice a massive difference
quartz mauve
Correct, and that's how the dedicated driver will behave too. But it will also let you play a YouTube video in the background, or talk on discord while you're in FL.
110% recommend spending the $5 or whatever for an adapter.
quartz mauve
Yes, it's the intended use case for your interface. The driver and interface are supposed to work together to give you a smooth audio recording/payback experience on Windows.
digital pumice
ah ok

@digital pumice Watch your profanity.
digital pumice
ill just buy one then
quartz mauve
It's $5, you won't regret it.
digital pumice
would u be able to give me a link to the adapter i need
quartz mauve
In your country, google for a quarter inch adapter, I can confirm if it's the right thing.
digital pumice
and 3.5mm headphones works for quarter inch adapter?
quartz mauve
In America I think they're 1/8th and 1/4, but elsewhere it's 3.5mm and 6.3mm
quartz mauve
It should be very similar to the image Day1 linked above. It shouldn't be hard to find.
2 of each style, big to small, and small to big. $8 CAD.
Marked up to $10 at best buy
etc etc.
quartz mauve
yes.
