I am a newbie to the home-recording game. I have immediately run into a latency issue - when I overdub on an imported beat or the first rhythm track - the latency factor seems to be around 120 ms. I have two questions:
1. Will the latency factor always be constant with my set-up? (i.e. every time I record a track it will be exactly 120 ms off). Or does this factor change from track to track and one recording session to the next?
Is there a method to determine exactly what the latency factor is?
2. Given my set-up below, and the fact that I have an average speed laptop, what are my best options for reducing latency. Is it buy better studio software, or something else?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, E
Here is my setup:
Shure KSM27 condenser mic
Tascam US122 Audio/MIDI Interface
Acoustica Mixcraft 2.50 Recording Studio (software)
Laptop - 1.4 GHz, Pentium M, 40GB, 512MB RAM, 400 MHz bus speed, sound card is cheap (Sound Blaster Pro)

This is what the device driver shows when the US-122 is plugged in without the driver program being run. Right click, select properties, click the compatibility mode box, choose Windows Vista (service pack 2) After driver has been installed it shows up under Audio inputs and outputs.
