i ran into a latency problem while using my notebook to record...mainly because my soundcard just doesn't have the processing power to be great at multitracking.

the way i solved the problem was to monitor whats coming out of the mixer instead of whats coming out of the pc.
i take the signal from my pc and pipe it back thru the mixer ....then monitor that signal, and play along with it.
(instead of plugging headphones into the headphone jack, i ran a patch cable from the headphone jack to the mixer...and plug my headphones into the mixer)
sounds complicated..but it makes sense once you lay it all out.
