Hmm, what is the explanation why Live's metronome would be different than a midi note metronome?

OK, I finally tried to do the test. A dialogue comes up that this file was created w/a newer version of Live and can't be opened. I'm running 5.2.2. Is this for Live 6 people only? :?


I made it on 6 ...

Thanks for trying... I guess if I ever figure it out, I'll post about it.

Well... try and figure this one out. I turn off delay compensation. Set driver error compensation to zero. Turn OFF the metronome. No audio playing, nothing (other than probably being synced to the audio clock?) Record an unquantized midi part. Upon playback, the hits don't line up with respect to ...

Cool man, thanks for the hope

I'll keep trying stuff. Let me know what you find, whenever you get a chance...

If the midi is really terrible, I might not have bought Live to begin with. Should I have thoroughly tested the demo? If so, why does the consumer have to be a beta tester? I really thought I was done spending money on this little studio thing. I guess I'll start looking at some other demos. But I'm ...

I have the apogee ASIO drivers set for:
44.1kHz 16-bit
"Highspeed" setting :
Input 3ms 175 samples
Output 4ms 216 samples

I would do the groove myself, but ableton isn't even letting me do that:

So it's that or groove templates.

So all my midi interfaces are USB :x I decided to try out the MOTU since it's sole purpose is midi. What surprised me is how worse things got. The timing ended up being much more random, and sometimes off as much as 10ms ! Maybe the midi in/out ports on the padKontrol suck, I don't know. But using ...

Yep, les pauls are heavy. Yeah, the tone is great. I just wired mine with splittable pickups, the single coil sounds are GREAT! I prefer the skinnier 60's style necks...

Interesting. That would suck if USB (or USB2) is the problem. My laptop doesn't have a serial port, so I guess that leaves firewire and cardbus. Anyways, I'll see what other interfaces I can dig up. But my Korg padKontrol=USB, M-Audio Axiom=USB, MOTU microlite=USB. Also what's odd is the Apogee ...

If that was the case, they would use delay compensation to make up for that. In other words, if that delay was 1ms... they would roll the audio 1ms early so that when you play a note, it would sound at the correct time. It appears that's exactly what's done with the audio. What's even more confusing ...

update: things are wack... see:

I've done all that. Read everything. Tweaked everything. What's weird is that audio performs perfectly, with plugins and everything. Exactly. What I hear recording & monitoring, and what I get after playback. But midi, no. I encourage others to experiment with me. Especially if you normally record ...

This applies to anyone recording without quantization from a connected midi device. I've created a test project that you can use to check your system as well:

Not sure how many people can grab that, but I think it should be good for 7 days.
