My problem I am having is that the recording has a hard to explain issue. Sounds like phasing,wobble sound is going on. What could cause this? Any ...

Yes, using ASIO tried playing with the latency and still having delays getting from the stage to the fronts.

Hello all,
Hopefully someone can help me out. The problem we are having is using Live 6 for the FOH Sound. Equipment, Mackie 1640 onyx firewire board going directly to an Imac 24. There is a delay issue say when the drummer hits the kick drum, the sound is delayed about 1/2 second before it comes ...

Thanks ...

I had a lot of problems with Live 6 where the audio would dropout every minute or two. It didn't matter if I was recording or not, or how many plug-ins I was using, or the number of tracks. The glitches were random.

Thanks ew, for the reply.

Look forward to your help and agian thanks ...

I am having problems with drop outs. I am using a Mackie 1640 onyx fire wire board trying to record 16 channels at once. The Mackie board has 2 firewire ports 1 going to my laptop the other going to external hard drive.

My system,

Compaq r3000 pentium 4- 2.80 GHz, 1.12 GB of RAM, 80 GB HARD DRIVE ...

Thanks, I have tried the latency seems to makes no difference. The tracks were recorded in warped mode with beats chosen. I will try the complex mode as it does say it is for whole songs. I will try it this way and let you know how it came out. Any other suggestions?

Thanks Woody
