- If you use a WaveTable synthesizer such as WinGroove or SXG50 for your MIDI Output,
- and your song also has audio tracks, you may experience the Audio tracks playing
- ahead of the Instrument tracks.
- Similarly, tracks tied to synthesizers connected to external MIDI ports also play
- faster than tracks tied to the WaveTable synthesizer.
- This is because the WaveTable synthesizer delays its output for about half a second
- while it computes the necessary wave forms using software rather than hardware.
- You can overcome this problem by letting Anvil Studio know the latency of your device.
- To do this,
- <dir>
- <li>selecting <b>MIDI / Audio Device Latency</b> from the View menu,
- <li>in the resulting window, click the entry for the WaveTable synthesizer,
- <li>set its latency property to the number of milliseconds it delays its output,
- usually 500 (half a second).
- </dir>
- This problem can show up at record time as well.
- If you record a new Audio track while playing an existing Instrument track that
- is tied to the WaveTable synthesizer, when you play the two of them back, it will
- sound like the Audio track is playing 1/2 second behind of the instrument track.
- The solution is the same - change the WaveTable synthesizer's
- latency to 500 milliseconds.

- Some WaveTable synthesizers, such as WinGroove, provide an alternate Audio Out
- device that is also delayed by the same amount as the MIDI Out.
- If you use such a device for your Audio Output, you need to set the Audio Out
- device's latency property to 500 as well by
- selecting <b>MIDI / Audio Device Latency</b> from the View menu.
