Hi,

Have you considered phase cancellation? This occurs when two sounds are playing in an overlapping frequency range – a negative phase in one channel can cancel the positive phase in the other channel to produce reduced/zero amplitude for that frequency band. You could get around it by cutting ...

Turn up your amplifier volume to compensate.
Still hear the ducking?

My first guess was the same as Guy Smiley's first guess.
But I'd trust my ears more than that fader animation.

Thanks for your reply. Where in PDX are you? I'm in NE. And thank you for your advice.

is there a compressor anywhere in this signal chain - either hardware or software ?

oh no...absolutely not. I am very aware of what a compressor can do to sound. That is also why I used the concept of ducking to describe what the problem sounds like.

Am I just hearing the limitations of using a ...

So, you are narrowing it down to the computer and sound card. But, I don't understand your reason. ??

yeah that does sound like you've got everything running too hot maybe ? do you have either the master fader or the individual tracks running into the red all the time ?
Also what soundcard / output are you using, and into what monitors / amps etc ?

THanks for your reply GUY SMILEY,

I guess what I am trying to get at is that I am used to the old days of a external mixer and separate sound modules etc. And , I am by no means a professional and consider my self a amateure with some knowledge, but...

sweet. just to clarify when I said 8ms i didnt mean i get pops at 8ms.
but that is the setting i am using right now, becazsue tahth way i get 256 samples.

is that important getting 256 samples, when recording midi?

I mean if i have to get less samples but les latency, i can always change it back ...

my problem seems to be not cracks and pops under 10ms ,
but at say 8ms

when i hit the keys on my midi controller and "record" midi notes in the midi editor , the timing seems to be off, sort of a delay I get. Is that the latency. I want to record my midi performance "live" no quantization at all ...

I was watching a LIVE tutorial and
it showed:

256 samples

output latency 5.00 ms or so
input latency 5.00 ms or so.


On my mac using core audio

I have 256 samples

output latency is 7.28 ms
input latency is 7.23 ms


Is that normal for my setup

Also I have a sample rate of 44100


I'm still ...

cool...thank you. That is what I am doing, now. But is there a prefered directory to keep them?

If not I'll just add them to where LIVE has the rest of its preset samples for Impulse.
users/applicationsupport/ableton/library

thanks

er... i did and i couldn't find an answer.

Do I just put my sounds in the same folder as the preset sounds that came with LIVE?

Hi. wow this forum is overwelming.

So i got live going, but where do i add my own impulse samples.

I got some sounds a friend gave me and i want to have my own
drumsets going in LIVE. But where do i put my folder of sounds at?

Is there a prefered place?

Thanks to all the 1, 000, 00, 000 00 of ...

ABL?

IS that the ABL Pro, or the ABL bassline?
