When I use the OT to control Ableton (sending MIDI transport), everything seems fine at first. Both set to 140bpm for good measure.
I arm my recording in Ableton and hit play on the OT and Ableton records.
HOWEVER, when I play back what has been recorded (using OT play button), I can see and hear the tempo in Ableton going out of sync ± MANY bpm.
With WARP on (the default), I can hear the terrible effect of this.
If I go into my samples and turn WARP off, everything has been apparently recorded fine, it plays in sync.
So, I guess my work around is to default to WARP off in Ableton. Not great, but maybe doable.
Any similar experience, workflow tips?
My intent is to try to stay out of the box and record material into Ableton so that I can assemble it into a track as a following step. I feel musical working out of the box with OT, but I’d rather layer and arrange in Ableton
I like the idea of not syncing the two at all and just playing willy nilly straight into Ableton…
But then I will have work to do getting everything back on the beat.
Alas…
