ABOUT AUDIO LATENCY
"Latency" is the time it takes for your computer's soundcard to process incoming data and output a sound.
The lower your latency is, the faster your computer will respond to commands and output sound.
If you experience significant delay between the time you sing into the microphone and the time that the
computer outputs audio, we recommend going into your software's "Preferences" settings to make sure
that your soundcard's latency (or buffer) is set to a low number – ideally lower than 15-20ms.
If you still experience too much latency after adjusting your software latency settings, download the free
ASIO4ALL (Audio Stream Input/Output) driver for PC at www.asio4all.com.

devices and software.
