I recently moved and I find myself in a place where I can't play loud as I used to so I was thiking about playing through my PC. I've been playing guitar for 13 years but i've never really experimented with recording and playing like that.

So I got myself some free VSTs and the VSTHost software with Asio4All drivers, connected my guitar to a USB port (tried with a 6.3mm - USB jack and with a normal jack paired with 6.3mm - 3.5mm and 3.5mm - USB adapters).

This resulted in me hearing my guitar (yay!) with mediocre quality but, most importantly, with noticeable latency. It is not extreme but it is significant enough for me to not want to play.

The question: will buying something like the Focusrite Scarlett Solo fix this problem? Or will my kinda old PC always produce this kind of latency no matter how good of an interface I have?
