Minitaur: MIDI timing

I've been trying to create some bass loops using the Minitaur with Ableton Live 8

I've noticed that before the first note there is a portion of silence. This isn't too difficult to wrok around with Ableton's warp markers.

As with all digital systems, there can be latency issues, but how accurate is the Minitaur at responding to Note On information?

Is there any lag between the Minitaur receiving a MIDI note on message and actually outputting a note (assume the EG is set for the fastest attack)?

Are there any Mac and/or Ableton settings to make this as accurate as possible?

Any advice appreciated.

Richard

This is probably your computers latency. Check your buffer settings in ableton.

I have experienced jitter when the MIDI and audio signals use different interfaces. Another chance is too much events being triggered at the same time or too many plugins, even with the properly latency settings.

My Minitaur unit responds instantly to Note events...

what should the correct latency settings be?

thinking it might be my audio interface as its off by the exact same amount no matter how much fiddling i'm doing.
