latency issue in audio recording
Posted: Wed Feb 28, 2024 1:17 am
Hi guys
I am new in the group and I would like to ask for some support.
I make instrumental ambient using a variety or instruments from handpans, african harps, hand drums with some digital touch of vst and plug in reverb/delay ecc. I mainly use mics direct in RME UCX II. My workstation MBP M2pro - 10 core - 32GB Ram.
I am having a very frustrating issue with latency in recording via audiocard (RME UCX II). After I record the instrument, the audio is never in synch with the other tracks nor with metronome but slightly out so manual warping its always needed. By looking at the transients on the grid, I have noticed that it oscillate between been early recorded or delayed of a very few ms which is quite annoying for my ears.
The RME driver I am using are Driver Kit the latest version with updated firmware.
64 or 128 samples / 48000 / I have a round latency of about 4.31ms.
Ableton Live11 (latest update)
I have changed the buffer size and sample rate to get the best performing latency, tested also on an empty project using only 1 single audio channel with monitor off in ableton and direct monitoring via audiocard but Nothing worked!
I have contacted RME and for them isn't related to the audiocard.
In my project, I have activated the delay compensation and everything that I know regarding latency performance.
Shall this be an unresolved issue or is there a chance to get it sorted? Is it normal that a I get this tiny delay which even ableton don't manage to properly compensate?
Thank you for reading and tuning in!
