Ableton is not recording the delay from TR8s

Post by AjBerlin » Tue Mar 09, 2021 4:51 pm

Hi,

I tried to record a TR8s project into Ableton all sounds good no problems at all. But then I realised that 2 sounds are the delay Fx are missing. I double checked if its playing while im recording and it is. but in the playback its missing? I have no idea why... any help or ideas would be very appreciated

Like Mark Williams wrote, a lot more info is needed.

Ableton Live records what is fed into it, so most likely it is something on the TR8s setup.

For starters, what are you listening to and what are you actually recording. The missing FX are on what recorded outputs of TR8s - the Master outs or the individual outs? The individual outputs don't include the delay or reverb as those FX are actually Master FX on the TR8s.

I feel your pain.

If you are connected to USB, reverb, delay, master fx and auto fill in are ignored (not part of what travels down the USB cable to your PC). Probably accent is ignored as well.
Took me a while to figure that out.
Headset and mix out will have those effects in the output. But USB doesn't :cry: :cry: :cry:
If you feed the mix out ports to your audio interface in (I have a focusrite scarlett) the effects will be there.

I haven't discovered how to sync with my controller (also USB) and use the FX from the TR8S. That is a different story.

Update. For me the fix was:

Old setup:
TR8S is connected via USB to PC
Akai APC40 mk2 midi controller is connected via USB to PC
In Ableton I setup both devices, I configure audio in to TR8S and audio out to my Focusrite Scarlett
Monitors connected to my Focusrite Scarlett

Result: FX, Reverb, Delay, etc from TR8S not working

New setup:
TR8S is connected via USB to PC
Akai APC40 mk2 midi controller is connected via USB to PC
In Ableton I setup both devices, I configure audio in to TR8S and audio out to my TR8S
Monitors connected to my TR8S

So:
I removed the L and R (monitors/speakers) from my focusrite audio interface and plugged them into mix out L and R on the TR8S.
I told Ableton that audio in is TR8S and Audio out is TR8S (that used to be set to my focusrite scarlet)
So I'm no longer using my Focusrite audio interface as I am using the TR8S audio interface.

Hope this was helpful and clear.
