I recently made a recording, and the beats were very irregular.
I know that there is latency in my system: I'm using the Direct Sound driver. What I think is happening is shifting mental focus from hands to ears and back, adding and subtracting the latency irregularly. I've tried recording with no stops drawn, and the beat is regular. With very soft stops, its not too bad.
Yes, the simple fix is to repair/replace my Behringer FCA610 sound card and virtually eliminate latency. But in the real pipe organ world, there is often a lot of latency - I remember years ago having learned a difficult page of music at home (Artisan, at the time) and proudly took it to my teacher at church. I couldn't play it at all - it just felt wrong. Had to relearn it on that organ, and most of the pipework was within 50 feet of the console!
So, how can one learn to deal with some latency, and keep a regular, musical beat? Any ideas, or techniques?
Thanks
