Ableton live 9 sync

Can anyone help me with syncing my analog four to ableton . I have tried but latency is crazy! I use a emu 0404 sound card . Many thanks

  1. Record a sound with a fast attack straight from the A4 into a live track.
  2. Measure, using the timing grid on the track, the difference in milliseconds the sound triggers from the start of the track 0:00.
  3. Open preferences and in latency compensation, type in the difference as a minus (-) value.
    Latency comp only has two decimal places, sometimes the measurement has more decimal places, just type it in…
    Mine took a bit of messing around with higher and lower values but I eventually got it…
