My recommendation would be to use either of these DAW's

Logic ,Fl Studio, Reason, or Ableton.

Since those are more music based. FL Studio has something called the FPC that is layered out like an MPC where you just drag a sound to a pad, press the pad its assign to on the LPD8 and your set. Its thats simple

That delay is because of your soundcard. I'm guessing you are using the internal/built in one on the computer (and it's not a Mac)?

If that is the case, you either need to buy a soundcard with ASIO drivers, or you can get a free program called ASIO4ALL (google it), which will make your current "stock" card work a little better.

As for software, FL or Ableton are what I'd recommend. Ableton has a perfect little 8 pad drum unit called Impulse that would work great for your LPD8.

PM me if you need more help setting it up.
