Midi latency even when buffer at 128 ??

Yes, I have a midi latency even when buffer is at 128 or 64.

It's fine if the low latency mode is engage... well, should be fine with out it, cause this mode brings other compromise in the work flow...

I swear, no ADlimiter or any of the same king at the master output...

What or where is my problem , I have a fast processor it handles low buffers...

But still latency occurs ... weird !

thanks !!

NOTE: My motu card (FW400) passes through my external drive (FW 800)

Thought it should be fine...

Ciao

LLM turns bypassed paths or plugins to orange. This should show you who the culprit is.

Euhh... I dont get it, sorry !!

But , any how, could you explain

Thanks

Cick on Low Latency Mode. Open the Mixer. Look for the colour orange. These are the plugins or sends that induce latency.

Huh? If it was fine without the low latency mode, what would be the point of a low latency mode? Yes, the low latency mode is a compromise: one that turns off whatever creates the latency in the signal chain of the instrument/audio track you're recording. That's the whole point of the feature.

OK...

But even if my buffer is as low as 128 and my cpu still sleeping ?

There is still some plugins that will create latency...?

I would engage this mode if my cpu could not handle the low buffer it would need to be comfortable playing midi piano by exemple...

But anyway, I understand the concept,

Thanks

The button is named Low Latency Mode, not My CPU Is Too SLow Mode. Certain plugins need a set amount of audio to work with. Certain others need lots of calculations. LLM is designed for these cases.

You're confusing the latency caused by I/O buffers (which can usually be reduced in size when the project is not taxing the whole CPU) and the latency caused by plug-ins. Some plug-ins cause latency by design, and that latency is independent of the power of the CPU. So if you have a plug-in that needs 40ms to process the signal, it doesn't matter how powerful your computer is, nor does it matter what your I/O buffers are set to: that plug-in will create 40ms of latency when inserted on a record enabled track.

That's the point of the LLC mode, to automatically bypass plug-ins that create latency. It has nothing to do with I/O buffer latency, and nothing to do with saving CPU power.

Hope that helps.
