The Latency Problems In Logic Pro Options

[JulienGB]

Hi guys

There will always be some latency problems with digital audio workstations. They will just reduce with the time, that's all. I had similar delays with PROtools TDM system too ... At the end of the manual, they give all the latency time in sample numbers. And it can be pretty long with some plug ins (yes ... Waves plug ins for example). For recorded audio tracks, it is easy to compensate. But in the case of direct monitoring thru plug ins (when you record) and real-time routing (like in the busses), there's no solution yet I'm afraid... apart from increasing cpu speed and reducing DSP consumption.

It does not matter to me what Protools does. I use Logic, and have paid by him. Therefore it is to Logic to that I must to him demand. He is unacceptable that in a program like Logic, the latency that listening when you record through a Bus, must fix it by hand and your ear. While this is thus, Logic will not be a professional program.

I meant it's the same problem for ALL DAW, professional or not, Digi or native ...

If routing and timing are essential for you, I suggest you buy an analogue type mixer.
I've heard that SSL and Euphonix make "almost"-pro equipment ...

I do not agree. Timing is not so difficult to solve. The audio one must return to its site. With Creamware I do not have that problem, and it is not indeed a modern system. He would be peculiar that Logic said to him to its users who if they want routing with the 64 Bus, it buys a SSL.

Gabriel, make me one supplies.

Have you tried bouncing your busses in solo, instead of recording them in real-time ?
Then you should get a clean and tight audio file ?
I don't know if it can help in your case ... but maybe.

And you know what ? Peter works with Logic Pro too !!!

Sometimes the impediments let you grow. Your recommendation is an example. I continue thinking that Logic must solve this problem. But your answer is intelligent. I do not imagine to Peter fighting against the latencies in its Real world. But everything is possible, and now more.

[JulienGB]

Maybe Peter or his engineer would probably fix it manually and nobody in the room would imagine there was a problem ?
And even more ... maybe it is better in sync with the groove, when manually fixed ?

[Jsegura]

The better is fixe automatically without losing the possibility of doing it manually. Because indeed, sometimes he is better to do it manually. But Logic always forces to you has to do it manually and this means times to waste time, and others to cut your creative rhythm.

I ALLWAYS bounce from the busses, never thought about actually recording them. The result would be the same, after you adjust for recording.

Also when I'm bouncing from the busses, it's during the mixing process.

Exactly.
