What is a good latency for 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.
Does Ableton compensate for latency?
What is Delay Compensation? Certain devices, plug-ins, and track delays may introduce latency. Live’s Delay Compensation automatically compensates audio, automation, and modulation by offsetting all tracks by the required amount to keep them in sync with each-other.
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 acceptable Daw latency?
But in most situations, moderate amounts of latency will be just fine: typically around 8-12 ms may work for most situations, and this won’t require the absolute lowest buffer sizes offered, maintaining a good compromise with the average DAW computer between low latency and reliable recording and playback.
Why is Ableton latency so high?
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.
How do I reduce latency in Ableton?
How to reduce audio interface latency
- Reduce the buffer size. The smaller the buffer size, the lower the latency.
- Raise the sample rate.
- Disable the Audio Input Device.
- Use ASIO audio drivers on Windows.
- Use a dedicated audio interface running native drivers.
- Don’t use Bluetooth devices or cast audio.
How much latency is too much?
Typically, anything at 100ms is acceptable for gaming. However, the 20ms to 40ms range is considered optimal. So simply put, low latency is good for online gamers while high latency can present obstacles.
How much latency is too much for recording?
So as much as 5 to 6 milliseconds will be fine. With keyboards, the amount should be the same unless they’re playing pads, in which case you can get as high as 20 milliseconds without them or the crowd noticing.
Can a third party plug-in add latency to Ableton?
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.
How does the minimum latency of an audio buffer work?
As such, the minimum amount of latency is equivalent to the time required for a single audio buffer to be processed within a given rate of samples per second. Or, in more practical terms… Buffer Size (number of samples) ÷ Sample Rate (kHz) = Expected Latency (ms).
Is there a way to disable send on Ableton?
You can disable a send by right clicking on the Send knob and choosing “Disable Send”. For example, if you route Return Track A to Audio Track 1, right click on Send A on Track 1 and choose “Disable Send” to restore the correct latency compensation.
Is there a way to reduce latency in live?
Note: While it’s possible to reduce latency, it’s impossible to eliminate it entirely. In Live’s Preferences → Audio, the overall latency is calculated according to the driver type, audio interface, sample rate and buffer size in use.
