Are Samples more accurate @bove 140 bpm

Post by Tagor » Sat May 16, 2015 5:28 pm

Hi,
when i do a faster track only with vsti`s
it seem like ableton live becomes less accurate with higher speed.

It does not matter until 135, but above it seem to shift a little bit
the more plugins play together.

If i do same track and sounds using samples, its sound different.
it starts with the bassline which seem to be snappier when i use
samples instead of the vst.

Is that because of the latency, pdc ?

Yes this is a known issue with Live. Once you get above 135BPM you start getting into tempos typical of Dubstep and Drum&Bass. Live was really only meant to handle minimal house (as evidenced through their demo videos), which is at the sweet spot of 120-130BPM. Ever notice how the default tempo is 120? This is not meant to be changed and altering it is sure to give you problems.

Tagor, all of this is hogwash. Served without proof, posing as a question and therefore completely without merit. You should have posted to The Lounge if you want to kid around.
