And even while having an hardware mixing desk, one could want to use Live's effects.
This way the recording will be played back at the same time as the sequencer will trig sounds and they will match.īut one want to use Live to monitor. But this seems to be meant that you use an hardware mixing desk and you only monitor through it (=without any latency). Like for Audio or MIDI tracks, Live will shift the MIDI Clock output by the amount of latency generated by all the effects used on all tracks. That's pretty complicated but let's try to clear up the mess a bit.
Now the next level that most likely none seems to ever reach is getting recordings playback matching monitoring timing wise whatever happens, like effects adding latency being used on the subject track or other ones. If you didn't know that, then the following could seem even weirder for you: using a simple MIDI track to sequences an hardware synth then recording its sound in an audio track will suffer of exactly the same latency issues if you record with Monitor set to In/Auto, that's why the "External Instrument" device exists, and with it if you don't want to use a separate audio track (with Monitor set to Off) to record, you have to right-click the track, select "freeze", then right-click again and select "flatten" in order to record the sound correctly timing wise. "But now how do I monitor my tracks ?" -> You have to use another track. Live is stuck like this, so if you want to record sequenced sounds reliably and always the same timing wise, you have to record with Monitor set to Off. Even if at some point Live will be shifting all your monitors and playbacks because of latency compensation for matching, it will compensate the delay so the recording will be placed at the time it was meant to come regarding timing. Monitor set to Off is basically what you want in order to record an externally sequenced sound.
This is meant that even if you had some effects generating latency on that track that would make you hear it too late, we think that you would have adapted your play to this and did your best to sync the heard result to the track you want to overdub with. Monitor set to In/Auto is meant to record your live played performance synced by hear to what Live makes you hear and so the resulting waveforms will be placed at the time the monitoring let you hear them when you were recording.
#MIDI MONITOR ERROR MANUAL#
The main thing that is not wrote in any manual but anyone using Live really needs to know is that depending if you're recording with Monitor set to In/Auto or Off, the resulting recorded waveforms will be put at different places on the grid.
#MIDI MONITOR ERROR UPDATE#
Please note that the first versions of Live 10 forgot to include the lessons, so you would need to update your version in order to get them. In other languages, it may be on another page, for example in french it's on page 18 (last page) with Live 10.0.5.
#MIDI MONITOR ERROR DRIVER#
Help → Help View → Audio I/O → of the Lesson, click the link for Driver Error Compensation. For the lesson you will need a cable and an audio interface with at least one physical input and output. Live has a built-in lesson including a specifically calibrated set which allows you to set DEC. Driver Error Compensation FAQ wrote: How do I calculate the correct DEC value?
