Delayed MIDI playback
----PREFACE----
Hello all, I've been using something called Pro Tools SE which is pretty much a light version for years. It's been fun learning basics with this and for most of that time I was in high school and didn't have much time to record anyways. Now that I'm a college student i figured i would upgrade to the actual pro tools (or at least the student one) as it has many more features. I've been using an oxygen 25 midi keyboard with SE for years and have bad very little issues with it. ----PROBLEM---- When recording with the MIDI that i've been using for years, the sound being played back is delayed by roughly half a second which makes it impossible to keep time and make music. Even just playing the MIDI without a track recording has this delay (i can press a key and release it all the way before hearing the playback). I've tried enabling/disabling delay compensation and various other solutions that i've found and nothing has worked. This began from the very first time i tried pro tools 12 and has been occurring since. Thank you for your time and any solutions/questions are welcomed. |

Re: Delayed MIDI playback
I saw suggestions for that as well but when i went to change the buffer setting there was only one option (256 i believe but not exact as im away from my pc right now) and it didn't give me the option to change it.

Re: Delayed MIDI playback
Hmmm, this USUALLY means that you have Windows set(in Sound>Properties) to use your interface as its Default Playback Device. Windows needs to NOT use the same audio out as Pro Tools(which would free up Pro Tools to select a lower buffer for lower latency while recording). It may also help to know what you are using for an interface

Re: Delayed MIDI playback
Hopefully, once you set Windows to not use the Mobile Pre, you can lower the buffer to 128, which should help. Beyond that, be careful what plugins you use while tracking. Many have hundreds or even thousands of samples of latency, and that will make it tough to record with all that latency. Some basic plugins like BF76 and the stock EQ have no latency.

Re: Delayed MIDI playback
Was this in the MobilePre Software Control Panel? If so, I read elsewhere that others have had success by using ASIO4ALL as their primary output device.
