Heya,
I've been comparing trackers on PC for a while and finally Milky is what I need and want.
BUT, it's running so damn slow on my computer... When I hit a key, the sample plays after like 1/2 or 1 second. Horrible to compose and test melodies...
What can I do? I don't like the other trackers.
My config is 1,1GHz and XP.

Use the Config, durk. By default, Milky uses these compatible sound settings so that it will work out of the box everywhere. This means using the slow WaveOut driver with a generous buffer setting on Windows. In Config > I/O, try changing your sound driver to DirectSound and reducing the buffer size until you get a better response time but don't go too low so that the sound starts crackling.
To further improve the response time on your setup would be using the ASIO driver which allows using even smaller buffer. On a faster machine the difference might not be that big but here this can help. You either need your sound card to support ASIO or if it doesn't (integrated sound chips, SoundBlaster cards..), you can download and install ASIO4ALL (http://www.asio4all.com/) to emulate it. After installation, you should be able to select the ASIO driver in Milky.

Hello durk,
You can try to change the settings in the Config section in Milkytracker :). To do so, click at "Config" and after that on "I/O". There you can try to set a lower Buffersize if needed. And please try to change the Driver if possible.
The other thing, that might help, is, to select no interpolation or only the linear interpolation and a lower samplerate. 8)
Hope it helps,
Ingo
PS: heheh, you were faster, raina :D
