Hello all,
I’ve used OB on my Windows desktop and it’s awesome, nearly sample-accurate in terms of latency.
I’ve just purchased a new MacBook M1 Pro and just started testing out OB and Ableton on this device. Unfortunately I’m having issues getting my recordings via OB in Ableton to land on the grid. I would say I am pretty well familiar with all of the ways Ableton handles latency (Driver Error Compensation, setting Montor to “In/Auto” vs “Off”, Delay Compensation, Reduced Latency When Monitoring, etc), but I am stumped here.
Here are my current settings Overbridge Control Panel:
On the Ableton side of things, I have Delay Compensation enabled. I have monitor set to “Off” (though in my tests on Mac and Windows this setting does not seem to have an effect of how “on-grid” audio recorded from Overbridge is). I have no plugins in this project aside from the Analog Rytm plugin. No track delay is set, and I have made sure to disable all of the In/Out MIDI ports for the Analog Rytm as the Overbridge manual has described.
I have Sync in the AR Overbridge plugin set to “Clock + Transport”. I have an extremely simple 4/4 kick drum pattern programmed in on the AR. Here is a screenshot from one of the many recordings I have made via OB of the master output of the AR. The audio is coming in about 7ms too late.
Has anyone been able to get better latency than this on MacOS Monterey? I am on version 12.0.1 and will update and test again shortly. Specifically I am using a MacBook Pro M1 Pro with 10 cores, 16 GPU cores, and 16 GB of memory.
