Playhead Delay

Post by Booli » Mon Dec 28, 2020 10:41 am

Hey,
I'm having this trouble of UI delay -
Screen components are not compensated with the audio latency.
Such as level meters etc.
However the worse is the playhead cursor itself. It just doesn't run on what's playing. I can't catch the moment by eyes due to this eyes-ears gap which makes the editing/mixing tasks actually impossible.

The project/set is medium cpu consumption, 50% on playing. Mac Pro. A standard project of a standard daw. Also I'm 2 feet from the screen, so it's neither a light vs. sound speed matter.

Please tell me I'm missing a toggle which fixes that.
Please....

Hi,

Same problem here on PC with Live Suite 10 and Live Suite 11.

Workaround if you have time and courage: create a new empty live set and import all your tracks.

It can append anytime and make your whole production totally unusable.
