Ableton Forum

i've been using this ensemble in reaktor called vectory with ableton. vectory is used for mashing up drums live and syncs to ableton. it has worked great for almost a year. but now, for no apparent reason, when i select the midi arm button in ableton to use my remote sl25 with vectory, it goes out of sync. it plays fine while the midi arm button is deselected.

i checked the native instruments forum and found out about a 0.5 offset in the quantize module of vectory and tried putting it to 0 but still didn't work. i also tried deleting all other vst's from my ableton session and that strangly seemed to help quite a bit. i can't understand this tho because i used the exact same set just 2 weeks ago and it was fine.

i use a tascam us-122 soundcard with the latest driver. my laptop is a pc with 768mb ram, a pentium mobil 1.4 and a 40 gig 5400 rpm hd.

well i fixed it but it makes no sense to me whatsoever.

while i was testing to see if it was just too many vst's i decided to add a vst to vectory. i could hear the beat come a little closer so i tried adding a few more........ and what do u know? as soon as i had an equal number of vst's on vectorys' midi track as on the first audio track it came right back into sync. so apparently something was getting unbalanced.

i have no idea why this is and i hate not knowing. if anybody has any ideas please respond.

thanks

sounds like it could be the pdc (plugin delay compensation)... which u might want to try switching off.

just a thought.
