Driver Error Compensation Problem

Post by fastfx » Mon Jul 05, 2021 5:48 pm

Hi,

Ive done the driver error compensation walkthrough to set my latency, but my recorded signal is EARLY, not late. (see screenshot attached)

When i adjust my driver error compensation to -1.32 it is bang on in time - But when i go back to my project (with zero plugins) I am still getting latency when recording in.

Any ideas what's up here and how to fix this?

Thanks

This is from 2021

it's now 2023 and I have the same question. Sadly the help-section doesn't tell anything about TOO EARLY compensation and causes and what to do.

If anyone can shine a light on this, that would be great! :)

I'm not as tech savvy as I'd like to be answering this,
but after surfing around the web for a bit I've seen a comment suggesting to drop the sample rate, I dropped mine from 48k to 44k and it seemed to work, this pre-delay is now almost unnoticeable.
my assumption is that maybe the soundcard itself has it's own error compensation, or something of the sorts, and it might be overcompensating by a bit.

if anyone finds a solution for this, or a more in-depth explanation for this phenomena, that'd be amazing!
