Description

This tool can manualy correct Recording Latency.

If you get latency someware in your external recording chain (e.g. from hardware synthesizer) you can crrect it with this device. (it use the Ableton latency correction)

This tool has the advantage over Ableton's onboard options that it can be saved in individual track templates (e.g., a template for recording a specific hardware synthesizer) or in an audio rack. Ableton itself always "forgets" the settings when loading or copying saved templates in its onboard settings.

Instructions: Audio tracks must always be recorded via a second track (e.g., a hardware synthesizer inputs to track 1 (where the tool must be placed) and then sends the signal to track 2, where latency-corrected recording can then be performed).

It only work if you switch the "delay compansation" ON (at the Ableton options)

It is not possible to record latency-corrected audio on the same track as the device is placed.

Note: This tool is designed for static use; dynamic modulation will result in dropouts.

    -the fake latency wasn´t update dynamicly from dial

    This audio tool works as planed, but it seems Ableton has changed the counting/solving of latency or the way it´s compensate recordings. So the recording process totaly ignoring the fake latency.
    Some tests with the own tools "external audio" and "external instrument" let me conclude, Ableton is working on a solution for that latency problem. At the moment both tools are not working (they are not able to correct latency maniualy, they do something "switch" internal latency calculation, but results seems not "manipulateable")
