What should my latency be Ableton?
Re: Whats a good latency, running ableton on my 2016 15 inch 2.7. Hi, You should really be using zero-latency (a.k.a pass-thru or direct) monitoring thru your audio interface when recording/tracking. Then buffer size doesn’t matter. You could record with a 2048 samples buffer and have zero lag/latency.
How do I fix latency in Ableton Live?
How to reduce audio interface latency

In most cases, audio errors such as crackling, glitching or drop-outs occur as a result of high CPU load. When you have several programs open or your Ableton projects grow in size, the demand on your CPU will increase.
How do I get rid of static in Ableton?
Turn the “Release” knob in either direction until you reach a setting that sounds natural. The “Release” setting tells the gate how quickly to let go of its effect on the signal being passed through. There should now be periods of silence in between the musical content and the empty spaces that once contained static.
Is 10ms latency good 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.
Does buffer size affect sound quality?
Buffer size does NOT impact sound quality, so don’t worry about moving the buffer size around. The buffer setting only impacts processing speed and latency.
