Is there a way around Parallels Desktop 8 and Audio/Midi latency when using DAW on the Windows side (of a Mac)? I have a Mac and USB M-Audio keyboard which works great. However I have some plugs that are Windows only, and use my copy of Reaper to host them in Windows partition on PD8. I can easily switch the plugged in USB Keyboard over to Parallels and it turns up in Windows and ready to play in Reaper. However the latency even with tweaking the DAW is just a bit too much to play/record. Notes are delayed that the recording in the piano roll is off which is a bit annoying. Does Parallels itself have a latency MIDI USB setting or as im doing this out of the Mac's digital output, would connecting a Coreaudio interface (like my 828mk2) bring this up to speed? I know its a VM and shouldnt expect too much, but it means I may have to buy a PC tower just to run a few Windows Plug ins (which isn't a bad thing) and maybe better to have a dedicated machine, and render the VST's to audio to bring back into the Mac (to mix the final audio project)
Good idea, but i need Windows and Mac together, so Parallels is for me, Bootcamp I would keep rebooting Are you saying there is no solution under Parallels for this?
Still no solution? I've heard rtpmidi suggested, but I haven't figured out how to set it up yet. That solution would connect the MIDI keyboard or whatever on the Mac side and then use a presumably speedy network connection to get it to the Mac side.
