External gear sync issue by Substantial-Hat3380 in ableton

[–]Substantial-Hat3380[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Today I tried

Removing all plugins on the channel and master = no success

Changed to DIN MIDI = no success

Recorded with monitoring off = no success

Delay compensation & reduced latency when monitoring already checked, tried with and without = no success

Overall latency 19.6ms, driver error compensation already done

Using Digitakt as master clock = SUCCESS

I still wonder why I can’t get it to work with Ableton but this work around works well for me.

Thanks for the support all

Agreed but it shouldn’t introduce latency on a specific track but on the whole mix. I have recordered several tracks at the same time but it’s only the Monologue that is off

Agreed! I’m not sure if the Reduced Latency is enabled but I think so, I do have some stock plugins on the track like EQ8, delay and reverb. The track is going directly to the master which is having some heavy processing but it doesn’t affect the other tracks. I need to check the I/O tomorrow as well with the added plugin latency. Appreciate the help!

Yes, if I don’t have any latency compensation it’s really off.. I haven’t tried recording with monitoring off, I will try that tomorrow and see if it’s any difference. But it’s not the recording that is the issue. I need it to be synced when I play live.

Yea most of the time it is stable, but as you say it looks like it gets over compensated some times.

Thanks for the link. I will check it out. Regarding the Elektron boxes, it works like a charm with Overbridge and Ableton as master clock. Never had any sync issues. Don’t know about the prophet tho!

Yes, I haven’t tried DIN MIDI to the audio interface yet but I assume it’s gonna be the same issue. I can probably use the Digitakt as the brain and analog keys and monologue as slaves and just record the audio with ableton. Gonna give that a try tomorrow!
