How do I reduce VST latency?

Ways to reduce latency:

1. Get a low-latency interface that operates on a low-latency bus (thunderbolt if possible, Firewire 800 or USB 3.0 if you have those busses available).
2. Use or get as fast a processor as you can, OR use external processing for audio plug-ins, such as the UAD external DSP system from Universal Audio.

Does Reaper have delay compensation?

For just monitoring when recording, any decent headphones will work for you.

What kind of driver do I need for Reaper?

If you’re on windows you’ll want to use an ASIO driver when recording. In most cases you’ll have the lowest latency and best performance, and it will report the latency to reaper. On a Mac there’s the core audio driver for whatever audio interface you have, and you’ll just want to make sure you have that up to date.

What should my recording latency be on my Mac?

On a Mac there’s the core audio driver for whatever audio interface you have, and you’ll just want to make sure you have that up to date. While we’re here, set the latency to whatever you normally use for recording. 64, and 128 are common low latency block sizes.
