I haven't tried with the latest versions of Logic, but the problem remains. This article from around the time of this original thread really lays it out that Logic can't be trusted with sync: https://www.justaphase.blog/home/2020/4/23/daw-timecode-sync

I have the same issue over Zoom now. I used to be able to share just the movie window. Now I have to set up a second display and share that entire display.

I am trying to use Logic as my sequencer with ProTools for hosting video and mix. Pretty standard composer setup. For years I have been trying to figure out how to get around the 1-2 second lag in starting playback when ProTools chases Logic. (The playhead positions when stopped (MMC) are instantaneous.) I have 2 separate computers, 2 separate audio interfaces, MTC over a hardware MIDI connection, and a separate external hardware word clock sending to everything. I have been scratching my head - is there some setting in Logic or PT that I'm missing? How are people able to make this work? Do people use LTC with even more external hardware?

HI, I'm using articulation switches (custom and Babylon Waves) and recently started using Live Loops as a composition tool. I've found that the cells don't send articulation changes correctly (if at all), but when the same material is played in the linear timeline they DO work. Curious if anyone else has seen this, attempted this, or is aware of a solution. Thanks.

Thanks for the info - I'll look into that with VideoSlave. Confirmed though that the latency is corrected when that same plugin is inserted on an audio track. When placed on an Aux or Master, it lags. Between Logic, VideoSlave and the Timecode Display utility you shared (tapped thru IAC), the timecode is in sync for me, but the delay between the audio of Logic and VideoSlave varies depending on what type of track I have plugins inserted.

Thanks for thoroughly looking into this! I was seeing similar results using both VideoSlave and ProTools as video hosts. (VideoSlave has a free trial if you're curious to check it out - it's quite good.) I'm not sure how to work around this for now other than adjusting it manually. I ran into it more using plugins on Aux channels as well as the Master Output. Though I will say that Ozone 8 Maximizer consistently adds about 280ms latency regardless of buffer size, that I can manage with the delay MTC setting. I'm going to compare with how this works in Cubase. Thanks again!

Thanks Dewdman... I'm able to create sync by going into Preferences, MIDI, Sync and adjusting the "Delay MTC Transmission by..." amount to a negative value. (About -280ms) Did previous versions of Logic allow this adjustment to take place automatically, depending on the Session? Is there a way to do that in 10.4.8? Thanks.

Hello, Wondering if anyone has encountered this. I'm able to use both VideoSlave and ProTools for hosting video and playback on the same machine, through VideoSlave's ports or through IAC for ProTools. That's all well and good, but as soon as I begin adding plugins in Logic the offset increases and there's a delay. I've monitored this by using the same video/audio in VideoSlave and ProTools and referencing against the same file played back in Logic. I've adjusted the Plugin Latency Preference, usually set on All. Ozone 8 seems to be a culprit here, but even with other plugins the cumulative effect becomes really noticeable. Are there any known tips for adjusting sync so that the video host will receive it and be accurately in line with the Logic playback? Is it better to use a hardware MIDI interface to loop MTC/MMC back on a port there, rather than IAC? Thanks!

Hi, I'm having some trouble passing program changes to a VEP instance (or any instrument) from a software instrument track in Logic. I've seen that Logic reserves Ch. 1 for channel preset changes, yet still seeing no activity from a track on other channels going to VEP. I'm using TouchOSC to output program changes. They are received and recorded by Logic, and when played back they DO pass to VEP. But when monitoring or auditioning a track, the program changes are not being seen by VEP. I can't seem to find much online discussion on this issue, outside of ]this thread from a few years ago: /viewtopic.php?f=1&t=132589&p=678591&hilit=program+changes+monitoring# Do any of you use program changes for keyswitching? Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing for forwarding program changes while monitoring a track? Thanks.

Yes, thank you! That works!

Hi, Wondering if anyone has used TouchOSC (with TouchOSC Bridge - as I'd like my layout to send MIDI CCs), for Control Surface assignments. It's easy to assign a fader to CC7 and control volume for the selected track, but is it possible to send feedback from that fader back to TouchOSC (if one were to move the fader with the mouse for instance)? The TouchOSC documentation seems to say yes, and TouchOSC Bridge has an output port. I just can't seem to enable the feedback in the control assignments. Thanks!
