BPM counter keeps changing when synching

[marro]

Hi

im just wondering is it normal for live 8 bpm counter to keep changing speed when its synched to another program, i have it synched to a program playing beats at a constant bpm of 128, but ableton bpm counter jumps from 125 - 130 when synching

is this normal or does it mean something is wrong?

it's wrong. midi sync sucks big time. you wont be able to sync it properly without external box with midi clock run as master, than 2 computers synced to it as slave.

dont know why ableton doesnt cover this ***** bug in some update

thanks for the reply

so what eaxactly do i need to get to get this working

wait until abelton fix it, or buy some cheap drumbox with midi out (eg boss dr-660 or whatever) and connect two laptops thru midi interface tu midi out onf the drumbox, sync them as slave.. cant say it will work properly as it seems midi sync is total mess on ableton...

hey,


im working off the one laptop though, both programs.

you think something like this would be straight forward for a company like ableton
