How do you fix recording lag for Windows 7 & MMM16

Hey! Well i recently purchased a brand new desktop computer with windows 7 that I have been using strictly for recording purposes. Literally the only external program I have installed in it would be MMM16 and all the sounds pools. I record with a usb interface (ZOOM G2.1) and run my guitar directly through it. When hooking it up to the sound system I have to jam through the computer, I notice that my guitar is lagging by about 1.5 second(s). After I record the track and what not, I can align the sound waves in the correct position to manually the track into the correct time, but thats just too artificial. The kicker is when I use my headphones (Nothing special $45 sony) I notice the lag decreases but is still there. oddly enough I have some how trained my self to record in time, but you can only imagine how much of a pian it is trying to record with other people. Ive attempted to install ASIO 4 all but apparently the 64bit application is not released for Windows 7. Do you think this is the issue? Or maybe a driver? soundcard/other hardware? I really like this program, still regret buying micrsoft, but it has potential to create awesome music if this lag would dissapear!

Hi,

 

Very wise decision to use computer only for music recording.

 

As as far as latency problem you did right things but for windows 7 I have noticed a lot of problem using with Music Maker here from other users. It means Windows 7 is giving you problem.

 

For latency you and connection check pdf you will find text and images which will give you an idea what to do?
