High Latency with WASAPI vs. ASIO on Scarlett
Posted: Thu Sep 18, 2025 8:07 pm
Hello, I need help setting up my SCS.
For one show I’m using a Focusrite Scarlett Solo (4th gen), a Korg NanoKontrol 2, and an AKAI LPD‑8 MKII.
I have six faders assigned to different sounds and music tracks.
Because the show is very rhythmic, I’m experiencing a noticeable latency: there is roughly a 0.45 s delay between triggering “GO” and hearing the sound through the PA system.
When I switch to ASIO in BASS, the latency drops dramatically, but all the faders start fading the sounds together.
Consequently, I’ve been using WASAPI instead.
I was tweaking some settings, so I’ll attach a few screenshots (Also for my ASIO settings in editor) in case I made an elementary mistake.
Is there a way to reduce the latency further, or can I configure ASIO drivers with the Scarlett while still keeping the faders independent?
Thank you for your answer, and sorry for my limited audio knowledge!
