I have a project that was started on MBP and then moved to my Win 10 machine. Both running Live 11. I have a Delay send set up that is the sending audio back to and audio track.

All the sends are disabled on teh Return Track and the Audio Track it is outputting to to allow Live to correctly calculate delay compensation as instructed on teh Delay Compensation FAQ. On OSX this works perfectly, the delays are in time an compensated for as expected. On Win 10 the compensation is not taking place and therefor the delays are out oftime with the track.

Why would this work perfectly on OSX but not Win 10?

Are you using a seperate Audio Interface, or do you use onboard audio on both the MBP and the Win 10 machine.

If you use onboard audio on a Win PC/Laptop - delay can be unexpected........

If you have a (proper) audio interface, then I would not know why.

I'm using a MOTU M4. Drivers are up to date and ASIO. It's got me real stumped.

Is this narrowed down to specific Plugins or Audio drivers?

I'm using a focusrite Scarlett and don't seem to have these issues.

Although Ableton has some specific rules on how delay compensation works.
