Latency when tracking into Pro tools
I set up my Pro tools to act as the master and my external sequencer as the slave for recording using MTC. The only problem is when it begins recording, there is a slight delay, and this delay snips off a small piece of the beginning of my tracks. Can anyone offer some insight on correcting this?
Thanks! |

Re: Latency when tracking into Pro tools
If you haven't already, try clicking the Midi symbol in the transport window of Pro Tools (next to the metronome symbol). This tells Pro Tools to wait for incoming (Midi) data before "recording".

Re: Latency when tracking into Pro tools
take frank's advice. and also make sure your system is setup for the least amount of latency. i.e., 128 samples for the buffer, and make sure low latency monitoring is checked.

Re: Latency when tracking into Pro tools
Thanks a lot friends for your inputs. I tried both to no avail. The problem is that it's not taking my absolute whole song (from my MPC 2000xl) from time zero. It's chopping like a second off. I think the problem might be the amount of time that the pro tools needs to sync up with the MPC, I'm just not sure how to remedy that. Anyone else have any suggestions?
Thanks a lot for your help! |

Re: Latency when tracking into Pro tools
When I've been working in reason and cubase (similar thing except all software based) I'll add a measure or two to be beginning of the sequenced tracks to let the other software get stabilized.
That might be your easiest solution. |

Re: Latency when tracking into Pro tools
Thanks Gary O...I actually tried that already and it worked because I got my whole song in there from time zero but I had that blank there in beginning. Track for track, do all them sync with the exact same latency? I guess I can just snip off the blank bars off of all my tracks provided that they all have the absolute exact same amount of latency...that's another issue.

Re: Latency when tracking into Pro tools
your welcome for the suggestion.
I can't answer on the latency issues though since I'm not experienced with protools. I would assume they would track with similar latency, since subsequent tracks are synced off the same time code... But again, no experience here, just throwing out some ideas. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] |
