With modern audio interfaces the latency shouldn't be a big issue anymore. To be honest, don't fall for these claims because typically they are only achieved in very specific and uncommon situations. There's many claims of "lowest latency ever" in marketing of products from all the major brands. or if he's lucky he might have a Thunderbolt port. The trusted Firewire (for audio) is no more so he'll likely have to stick with USB/USB3.
On a modern laptop there's typically just a limited choice of ports for audio interfaces. SD3 (and its sound libraries) should be installed on an SSD!! I've already run into presets using 4.5GB.
The Kit Presets in SD3 can be pretty big on RAM usage. The laptop he plans to use should be a bit on the higher specs side (especially on the RAM side). The Roland TD-25 can be connected via USB-MIDI and trigger the drums. Superior Drummer 3 comes with a standalone software. P.s sorry for the obscenely long post about drums!įirst of all he doesn't actually need to use a DAW.
Would a FRFR system i.e the DXR15's be enough to cope with e-drums! I have read a lot about using a half decent MIDI controller and the ASIO4ALL drivers for windows to get it running smoothly without jitter, and latency low enough that it wont effect playing the kit live, but i am not clued up enough on this subject at all!Īnd also what should he be playing all this through? he currently takes a full PA system to every rehearsal which consists of both tops and bins and a powered desk! Is there anyone on who can advise as to what he will need to get the lowest latency signal into a DAW on a windows laptop from the Roland TD-25 unit? The reason i made this thread is because he wants to run his Roland TD-25 in to SD3, this was on my advice as the quality of the sounds on SD3 are far far better than those on the Roland units, even the pricey TD-50KV. I am in a band with my old man and he insists on using e-drums as he hates acoustic! (makes me sick just typing it!) Now as i am originally a drummer this goes against everything i know to be true!, that's not to say i don't see the value in e-drums as a means to practice but i personally cant feel the instrument like i do with acoustic and the only way to describe it is like playing a guitar hero guitar. Firstly can i say i have looked about and cant find a lot about the following query, more specifically using e-drums in a live environment and so the only reason i ask on a predominantly guitar based forum is i know there are a few guys on here that aren't just guitar guys and have masses of experience in music as a whole, so here goes.
