latency is getting bigger and smaller
Posted: Tue Apr 09, 2019 12:16 pm
Hi guys, I know that there was written a lot about latency, but I still not found the right answer for me... :-/
I start with my hardware and setup. I use macbook pro 2011, 2,3GHz I5 with 8GB RAM and 500gb Samsung SSD and/or Mac mini 2014 2.6GHz with 8GB Ram. I use Ableton 10, Ableton Push 2 and Roland TR8S. I use external sound card Behringer Uphoria UMC 404 HD. I use my Push 2 to control Roland as a step sequencer via drum rack in Ableton and Im sending sound from Roland to ableton. For that I use USB cable, not MIDI.
And here is my problem.. When I fix in menu the latency of Roland which is something about -46ms than the beat start right where it should.. But after some seconds it start shifting and when I record new beat after 15 seconds then the beat start late again.. and its getting bigger and bigger until I stop the session and start again, but then the beat start before the zero point in ableton, so it start earlier than the metronome.. Im not able to have still the same latency. Fix it once and for all.. This is happening with my macbook pro and also with my mac mini.. And it happend even before I had the Roland, with my beatstep pro, so i guess the problem is not in Roland. Could by the soundcard the problem? When I Use Roland as a external output, the latency is getting smaller, but still moving while I play.. Im pretty desperate with this :-/
Thanks for any useful answer Guys!
