I was questioning my performing abilities, but after an afternoon of testing i have discovered that i have a delay of approx 250ms between midi commands being issued and ableton actioning them.
it happens with all of my midi controllers from different manufacturers, and all of the related drivers are up to date.
i have tried altering the latency in case it was an audio issue but neither buffer size nor latency compensation make any difference.
This is a recent problem, I have had no problems with this setup until now. The computer, a macbook pro is running nothing but finder and ableton.
Any pointers appreciated as I have a busy gig schedule over the next few months and the first one is less than 2 weeks away!
thanks
