Recording clips and loops without latency
Recording clips and loops without latency
Hello to everybody, when I press "record" either to record clips or loops with Looper, there is always a few miliseconds of latency. Is it possible to avoid this and doing it instantly?
Thank you very much in advance!

Re: Recording clips and loops without latency
Nothing in the world is instantaneous.
But you could try reducing your audio driver's buffer size.
Also, pardon the obviousness, but maybe you play with some sort of global quantization ?

Re: Recording clips and loops without latency
Thank you for your answer. No, I have the global quantization to "None" (I want to use Looper to set the tempo). And I imagine that always there is some of latency, but now it´s too much for me with buffer at 128. I have to press record a while before, and if it´s not exactly, the the rythm doesn´t work. It´s not the normal latency, it´s a short impass before it starts to record. Sorry for my bad english.
Thank you very much again.

Re: Recording clips and loops without latency
Do you have transport running before hitting rec ?
What is your soundcard ? What is the total latency indicated in live's preferences ?

Hello, thank you very much.
Normally transport is stopped. I usually start with it stopped. My soundcard is RME Fireface 400 and my total latency is 9,77 ms (MacPro 4.1).

So, may I suppose it just happens to me? Nobody else?

Re: Recording clips and loops without latency
10ms should be good. Unless your hyper sensitive.
But try with transport running. I'd suspect it to lag when it's stopped.

Re: Recording clips and loops without latency
Thank you, after your post I was trying with transport stopped and running and it´s the same thing. Doesn´t this happen to you? There is no delay when you press record on looper?

Re: Recording clips and loops without latency
To be clear, how much latency are you talking about ?

Re: Recording clips and loops without latency
I can´t say a specific amount, but it´s enough to complicate making loops with looper. Maybe 1/4 of a second? But if you´re with your "internal" beat, it´s hard to be precise.
Re: Recording clips and loops without latency
1/4 second (250 ms) is not normal; extremely high. It should be 10 ms as your preferences says.
Maybe it is a HDD problem? Try with an external hard disk.

I´ll try it. Thank you for your posting.
Re: Recording clips and loops without latency
Okay. So this latency only happens in Looper?
When you monitor your guitar through a cued channel, do you also have a latency?
Do you get latency issues if you play an instrument device within Live via keyboard?
What are you using to trigger Looper? Are you using cc or note assignment?

Re: Recording clips and loops without latency
Hello, sorry for the delay, but my computer crashed. Now it´s fixed and there is no latency issues. I can imagine there was a problem with my hardware that now it´s fixed.
Thank you to all of you anyway!!!
