  1. It has been a challange communicating about such complex materia I agree. Thank you for your time!
  2. You are sending midi clock or another midi signal from Logic to the drum machine and then recording the audio from the drum machine, right? Its nice that you came up with a solution. Thing is I already came up with another solutions in earlier posts. Enter midi delay in the settings, you have to tweak it manually to fit the delay caused by the buffer setting and latency inducing plugins. The thing that remain unsolved is sending both midi and audio to logic. Can your drum machine send midi?
  3. Dewdman42, sorry to hear about your accident. Thank you for taking the time to help me anyway and I hope you will feel better soon! About not getting the same result when recording with a software instrument track and an external midi track, that's very well spotted! I did indeed miss that. When I record the audio on a regular audio channel it ends up BEFORE the midi as opposed to when I record it on an audio channel that gets fed by the bus from a software instrument track with an external instrument plugin. It's the same result when I bus the audio from an external midi track with an external instrument plugin. To verify that the difference is on the audio side and not the midi side I hooked up my octatrack sequencer. That way I can send midi signals to Logic on the exact time every attempt. That shows no difference in the midi recorded between using an external midi track and a software instrument track with an external instrument plugin on it.
  4. Have you watched the clip where I tried to follow your instructions? Did I do it like you intended? Do you think it is a bug?
  5. Gacki have you look at my post about using "auto delay"? Isn't that good news for the situation where midi is played from Logic?
  6. Drummer tracks are tracks with software instruments aren't they? The conversion from digital to audio in real time is not involved when bouncing in place, it's all in the DAW and the sound interface is not involved at all. The buffer size shouldn't matter in that situation.
  7. I have been trying to tell you, I don't use software monitoring at all. I listen to my synths directly through the sound interface, before the sound goes into the DAW. From I can understand you say there is a recording latency method that makes audio sit just right on the grid after a recording, no matter how high the buffer size is. I agree it's awesome! I understand, it compensates all audio coming in with d1 and d2 summed up, where d1 is the delay going out of the computer and d2 the delay coming in. That's great, I have no issues with that. Maybe the user gacki has some issues with that, he have mentioned he thinks logic overcompensates but I don't agree. Ok, I try create a software instrument track with en external instrument plugin and bus the audio out to another audio channel. I record those two channels at the same time and I still have the same problem, here: Can you please watch it and point out what I'm doing wrong? Feels like we're a bit closer now to a solution.
  8. Dewdman42, listening to you it seems that Logic has all the features that I need when you write about it. It's a real shame that I can't get it to work. I would give anything to see a real demo of how you get good sync between recorded audio and midi. Or for you to give me a link to one of those threads you talk about where this is discussed. Believe me I have googled this a lot! It would be really sad to leave this thread like this with a lot of energy put in to it but almost no result. Aspecially considering it looks like you know how to do it right? A screen recording of how it is done would be awesome. Or a very detailed instruction of how to do it.
  9. This is not even possible....so I'm not sure what you actually did. Did you turn software monitoring back on? Still, no I never use software monitoring. And where I write external instrument track it was suppose to be external MIDI track, I'm sorry
  10. We have tested different situations in this thread, you can divide them into 1. midi and audio being recorded from the "outside". 2. Midi being sent from logic and triggered audio recorded For the case of number two there is a setting in the external instruments track where you can choose either "delay in ticks", "delay in ms" or "auto delay". If you choose auto delay that solves the problem of recording the audio: To me that's equivalent to setting a manual midi delay except that this one is calculated automatically. And if you want to send clock to an external device then that clock is not delayed so you still have to fiddle with manual settings anyway. BUT, this doesn't change the main issue I have had from the start which is midi imputed from a midi keyboard while recording, are not ending up in the right place.
  11. Dewdman42: Still not sure we are talking about the same thing, sorry. I tried recording the midi to software instrument track, software instrument track with the external instrument plugin, external instrument track and external instrument track with external instrument plugin. When I used the external instrument plugin i tried with both the latency compensation button on and off. Made no difference what so ever. If the midi is played externally it comes in before the audio when using higher buffer settings, always. EDIT: "external instrument track" should be "external midi track"
  12. Software monitoring off. I've used ext instrument track, i will try the other thing you mentioned.
  13. I have a focusrite scarlett 18i20 which you can use to record in 32 buffer size with only a couple of ms of delay as a result. The problem is that it increases the load on my computer, it can handle it but the fans starts to ramp up which is very annoying. AND, as I understand it there could be a solution to this without having to record at low buffer sizes. This is of course when using hardware synths, if you use software synths you have to lower the buffer size.
  14. I don't understand how you can say that logic over compensates the latency for audio. Both you and me have made test to conclude that an audio signal sent from logic and back sits just about perfectly in the same place where it came from. To me its clear that it is the other way around, the lack of compensation for midi input. It has a function for compensation of midi output, but no compensation for input. EDIT: The compensation on midi output you have to tweak manually
  15. If this were correct then that would be the solution to my problem, this is exactly what I want to happen! But this contradicts all of my experiment. Have you looked any of my youtube examples in the thread, the first one for example? Or maybe I misunderstand you. If i play something that to my ears are exactly on the beat (direct monitored), will it end up exactly on the beat on the midi region? My experience is no.
