Hi guys, ![I'm New :imnew: :imnew:](/images/smilies/imnew.gif)
I'm a complete noob when it comes to recording and I was hoping someone could help me with what I hope is a straightforward question.
I've been trying to record soft string section intros for my metal songs using some software (Garritan Instant Orchestra plus Reaper) and a keyboard that connects to my computer exclusively via USB terminal (it has no Midi out or anything). The problem is that I have been getting latency which I'm hoping to reduce by buying an audio interface since I need one for recording guitar anyway.
My question is: if I buy a Roland Duo Capture EX audio interface will I be able to have it run audio outputs to reduce the latency of my keyboard signal even though the keyboard will not be connected to the interface but rather to the computer's USB port directly? That is to say, can I use the interface to bypass windows audio routing and act as my soundcard even when it's inputs are not being used by the keyboard?
Hopefully that made some sort of sense, and I'm not just spewing nonsense.
I was also wondering if anyone had used the Duo Capture EX and could speak to it's quality.
Anyway thanks so much for the help.
