#1 digital interface

had a bit of a waily yesterday...
I noticed that monitoring the midi input in the studio software had started behaving strangely....when hardware monitoring in idle the piano response was instantaneous but when in record mode there was a delay of 1/2 second between pressing a key and the sound emerging.
Investigating all the latency figures I couldn't find the culprit...
I reloaded all the drivers on the echo layla interface and there was no change....only one of the softsynths displayed this behaviour, but it was my goto piano and instrument synth so I was perplexed.....
anybody still with me?
so finally, swapped out the echo layla for a steinberg ur22 sound card with midi ports.....the problem went away
but my normal system latency of 1.7msec with the echo had turned into 11.6 msec with the steinberg and the overall input latency had risen to 16 msecs.
So the echo layla has finally failed.......waily waily.
the steinberg is usb2 which probably accounts for the rise in latency....
I think I'm looking for a replacement for the echo layla with a usb3 connection to keep the latency acceptable....
anybody any thoughts or experience???
In the past I would have put this up on the sonar/cakewalk forum but since cakewalk has sold out to bandlab I have no presence on their forum, and no bandlab software.
Oh waily waily.....more expense to paddle back to where I was in the first place...
