![]() in contrast to what most people believe, computers aren’t any worse than most external hardware in terms of MIDI clock stability, and 2. The point of these tests was not to argue that all computer setups deliver better MIDI clock. I don’t think computer specs or software setup details have such a bit impact on the results, tbh. Tests I performed myself were on whatever was the top-end Retina MBP available at the time the results were posted in that thread. Not saying you are incorrect but there is absolutely nothing about the test pc other than OS, DAW and soundcard. I’ll admit I am deeply skeptical about the link you shared. Honestly Overbridge can be a bit of a dick sometimes but it’s well worth putting in the effort to get on it’s better side. Either to edit out latency or to edit out glitches. But if it’s a matter of jamming and recording with badly synced gear or jamming with well synced gear and the odd glitch? Either way you’ll be editing the audio afterwards anyways. As for audio glitches, it can glitch from time to time. This means that if you can get reliable sync going between your DAW and your elektron, whatever you chain the elektrons DIN/MIDI outs will also be as in sync as it possibly can be. ![]() And although the audio from the direct outs may not be in sync with the USB audio, the MIDI and transport outputs are perfectly in sync with Overbridge. ![]() However, If you stream the audio over USB then it will be perfectly in sync. If you mean that the elektrons direct output monitoring is not in sync with Overbridge audio then yes, it isn’t. I’m not quite sure what latency you’re talking about. I’m a happy camper since I got mine, and I’m not pulling my hair out anymore. However, some experimentation with Live’s external instrument plugin and/or track latencies will take care of most, if not all issues, as long as you use the external sync solution. My Prophet 12 also takes a couple milliseconds to respond to any midi note received. For example, I’ve noticed that on my system, there is absolutely nothing I can do to eliminate ☐.5 ms of jitter using the AR in overbridge mode. As it’s been said, some amount of latency or jitter may still exist despite your best intentions. Plus, I can use any number of plugins without breaking the sync. I still needed to set up a complicated group of track latencies to account for all the routing in my setup, but once done, everything is on time, all the time. I know its expensive, but it’s so, so worth it. The setup is inflexible and ultimately a fail.īuying an external sync solution is absolutely the way to go. It can be done (painfully) without an external sync solution but what I don’t see more discussion of is that at least with Live, the second you start using latency inducing plugins, all of your carefully dialed midi sync and track latencies just go to shit. ![]() I struggled for years to get 4+ hardware machines in sync, while recording in perfect sync in multiple places (daw, octatrack), with all midi recorded tight to the grid. FWIW: I run a complicated setup with lots of midi sources, daw, hardware, etc, and audio routed back through the daw for mixing. ![]()
