How does Ableton calculate latency?

Hover your cursor over the device title bar in Device View to display the latency in the status bar. The device latency is shown both in samples and in milliseconds. Note: If Delay Compensation is not active under the Options menu, then it won’t be possible to display the latency of a device.

What is a good latency Ableton?

anything below 5ms is fine. Last edited by cavern on Tue Sep 25, 2007 3:32 pm, edited 1 time in total. I don’t think 12ms is bad at all, that’s like standing 12 feet from your speakers, hardly a hug delay. I run my buffers at 256 or 512 samples and never really notice any latency issues.

Why is MIDI so slow?

Sometimes, when you trigger MIDI notes on a keyboard or pad controller, you may find a delay between the time you play and what you hear. It is delay created from the audio playback device driver. Computers have built-in soundcards that allow you to playback audio from your computer.

What is a good latency for recording?

While some keyboardists claim to hear a 5ms discrepancy in their performances, the vast majority of musicians are unlikely to worry about 10ms, and many should find a latency of 23ms or more perfectly acceptable with most sounds, especially pads with longer attacks.

Why does Ableton say latency?

Certain Live and Max for live devices, as well as certain plug-ins and processes can add latency. Delay Compensation is used to ensure that all tracks in a set playback in sync with each-other. However this adds latency, especially if there is a device or process in the set with a very high latency amount.

Does Ableton have latency?

Ableton Devices, third-party plug-ins or Max for Live Devices: Any of these devices which use oversampling or convolution algorithms can add latency. Max for Live devices will also introduce additional latency when their editor window is open.

Why is latency so high Ableton?

How to reduce latency while monitoring with Ableton?

Use direct monitoring (if your audio interface supports it) Some audio interfaces have a function called direct monitoring. The signal enters the interface and is routed back out through the headphone monitor mix, instead of passing through Live first, so you can monitor with near-zero latency directly through the interface.

Why is the MIDI delay on Ableton so bad?

Not quite in the same way. midi is tampered with on the way into Live. The reason is because Live prioritises the audio and somehow tries the lock the incoming midi data into packets. I don’t understand this at all but that’s how it was explained to me by customer support.

What’s the minimum buffer size for Ableton Live 10?

1. In Live 10: 2. In Reaper 5.9 For low latency I’d shoot for a buffer size of 128 or lower. Sometimes 256 if your system stresses out at lower settings can be workable for midi. 512 is more for mixing (lower CPU use for more plugins, low latency isn’t needed).

How much latency do you need for a MIDI keyboard?

Sometimes 256 if your system stresses out at lower settings can be workable for midi. 512 is more for mixing (lower CPU use for more plugins, low latency isn’t needed). 128 should get you down to 3ms for input which to my ears isn’t noticeable for midi. Same exact problem here. I just got this swissonic easykey 49 master midi keyboard.
