Ableton Forum

Hello,
is it better to turn off the "Delay compensation" option for live performance (when you don't record anything)?

I'm a bit confused with this option.
Let me explain, I'm experiencing a little latency with my voice microphone, but when I turn off the Delay Compensation option, it's perfect, absolutely no latency (or at least impossible to notice with human ear).
How come it's better without the option made for that purpose?

I think I'm missing something here.

Thanks.

i always notice that and record with no delay comp and do it by ear. i have no idea why it works this way but the tight sound doesnt lie

Did you setup the delay compensation as shown in the Ableton tutorials, or are you just turning it on with its default parameters?

The "driver error compensation", yes I did.
