Hello Louise,
Yes -- latency is another term for sound delay. 85ms is a lot, and I think means you must have a DirectSound driver selected. On the 'General settings | Audio device ...' screen, select your audio interface's ASIO driver instead, or if you don't have an audio interface with its own ASIO driver, then you try downloading and installing the freeware ASIO4All (when Hauptwerk isn't running), configuring it to use your output device, then re-launching Hauptwerk and selecting it as the audio device on the 'General settings | Audio device ...' screen.
If needed, see the 'Performance tuning: Buffer sizes, latency, and audio sample rate' section in the main Hauptwerk user guide for more details (pages 261-263 in the current v6.0.2 version).
Edit: P.S. I see Mark and I replied at the same time.
Best regards, Martin.
