That's the kind of thing that would drive me mental because it doesn't seem to make any sense. Are the groups all routed to the master or are they sent to external outs?Aweeeezy wrote:
I'm not ruling this out, but if this is the case, then why does choosing a different output device in Ableton temporarily solve the problem? Any why does only the one group behave this way while the other group's dry signal is properly phased out when sent to any of the return tracks?
I think it's just some kinda bug relating to my interface...I ordered a second Audio DJ 8 that should be arriving early next week. I'm hoping that combing the two Audio 8s into one aggregated device and choosing that device as my output will solve the problem. We'll see!...I hate waiting.

It has been driving me mental! All groups are routed to the master out and any or all of them can be sent to an external out if Send A is turned up on the groups.
So you guys know how I said I was waiting for another Audio DJ 8 to arrive so I could aggregate them? Well, I was playing with that last night and the two Audio 8s together have solved my problem with the Beats group not phasing out....but now I get a little audio noise every couple minutes that seems to involve only the output to the Korg pad. If I unselect 9/10 as the output pair for the return track that sends its audio to the Korg and reselect it, it temporarily fixes the problem only to resurface later...
I've thought about it, and it's either an issue of my not selecting the proper device of the two Audio 8s to have its midi clock drift to the other, or possibly with the fact that the Audio 8 that outputs to the korg isn't plugged directly into my computer like the other Audio...it is instead connected to a USB hub.
It could also be because I'm using Coreaudio and should be using ASIO. I downloaded ASIO, but I can't find the ASIO Drivers folder thats supposed to be in Live's "Resources" folder. Does anyone know the proper procedure for finding (or more like creating) this folder?
Re: Magic sends not so magical anymore :/
You say you 'downloaded ASIO' - not entirely sure what that entails or means as there's not one 'ASIO' to download..Aweeeezy wrote:It could also be because I'm using Coreaudio and should be using ASIO.

Each interface should come with it's own ASIO drivers to install.

I don't have a mac, but assuming you can install straight from the .dmg file and not have to worry about copying a ASIO Driver folder (?)
Re: Magic sends not so magical anymore :/
IIRC, you need to setup the utility plug on the second send and then send it to the first send with the FX on it.
Sending from the first to the second send will add 1 sample of delay to the signal.
HTH.

I've installed from the disk image and restarted my computer, but there's still no ASIO to choose in either Maschine or Ableton.cotdagoo wrote: You say you 'downloaded ASIO' - not entirely sure what that entails or means as there's not one 'ASIO' to download..

I've tried connecting the Audio DJs with a midi cable, but the problem persists. Is it necessary to have two midi cables to sync two interfaces together?

Re: Magic sends not so magical anymore :/
Have you tried to render project that is simmilar to what you did in real time? If there is still problem in the rendered wave file that would be not the problem in the drivers or hardware devices.
Re: Magic sends not so magical anymore :/
I'm not quite sure what you mean by rendering a project similar to this. Do you mean that I should arrange my clips and automate all the movements? This would require resampling all my beats from maschine first :/pencilrocket wrote:Have you tried to render project that is simmilar to what you did in real time?

Re: Magic sends not so magical anymore :/
Disabling latency compensation does the trick for me..
But remember not to turn on High Q mode on Live's plugs when
in sends...Also set them to 100% wet and if puting a compressor
set lookahead to 0..Last but not least in Abletons Preferences change buffer size of plugins
to 32..Ah!And if you put Live's reverb stick also a utility plug and invert phase

What does changing the plugin buffer size to 32 do?
Using high quality on my plugs will undoubtedly screw up my set after turning delay compensation off?
By "disabling latency compensation", do you mean I should turn off "Delay compensation" in the options menu, or should i create an Options.txt file with "-StrictDelayCompensation" entered into it?
....or should I do both?
Re: Magic sends not so magical anymore :/
Simply turn it off in the options menu and the very small buffer size (32)
will balance in some way the latency..

Re: Magic sends not so magical anymore :/
I went to test this idea out on my own template and the "delay compensation" option has been grayed out. I could uncheck it when I had my laptop away from my desk last night, but it seems it's no longer an option once I've connected to my soundcards...I don't know if changing the plug-in buffer size to 32 is what did the trick, but my setup hasn't collapsed in the 20 minutes I tested it this morning. I'll have to do some more testing to be sure that the problem is resolved though. If it still acts funky, I'll add that options.txt file into my live folder and manually override the delay compensation and see how that affects the sound. Thanks for you advice!7G wrote:Simply turn it off in the options menu and the very small buffer size (32)
