problem with recording

hi. my situation is:
making beats in doubletime resolution on my mpc (180 bpm half speed) and record each output (4) with my presonus firestation card on live 6 (synced live & the mpc).
the problem is that there is a delay from 23 ms by each loop, that means the "1" of the beat starts after 23ms.
i have changed the latency compensation settings in live and also did the tutorial, but it hasent a effect.
can anyone help?
btw: P4, 3,2GHZ, XP

You have to adjust the midi output latency in the midi/sync dialog.
But this can only work if Live is the master of this midi connection.
If you set it to -23ms in your case, live will put out the sync signal of the "1"
23ms before the internal "1". So your in time

Good Luck!

thx for the answer.
my situation is that mpc is master and live is synced as slave....

does it make any difference if the recording tracks monitors are set to 'in' vs. 'off'??

I think it records with latency compensation when monitor on the channel is set to "off." Try using 1 channel to monitor only & one to record that way.

did i understand you correct? latency compensation works only when monitor setting is "off"?
