Audio and midi desynchrionize on high latency settings!

Hi there, yesterday I discovered, that the higher the latency setting for the audio driver is, the more do audio and midi desynchronize! It tried it at 50ms and 100ms latency. Why is this? What is going on there? Regards, fladd

Can anyone shed some light on this? fladd

Well, I still don't get why this is getting out of sync. With the Asio4All drivers this is not the case! fladd

Has anyone else seen this with some drivers? fladd

can you make it more clear what you are observing? What do you mean 'desynchronize'? Are you talking about recording midi and audio together?

I have a project with some midi tracks (VSTi) and some audio tracks (vocals). When I play them back at a sound device latency setting of 5ms (at which the audio was recorder) everything is as it should be. When I play it back at a latency of 50 ms, then the midi tracks are not synchronized to the audio tracks anymore. fladd

try 3.02. ;)

Yikes! so has midi been playing back incorrectly in previous versions at high latencies ? If for example I recorded a midi piano and then recorded an audio track using the midi track as a guide do I need to adjust the timing? What about audio and midi recorded together?

This is my somewhat educated guess: I don't think this is a problem with the program. When you record audio it is "done"...hard written to the drive... unless you change the tempo, or do some sort of time stretching, it will always play back at the same rate, regardless of the latency setting. Midi on the other hand will always be computer reliant. Not being actual sound, it relies on the computer to interpret midi data, put it through a vsti/dxi and output the sound. When you adjust the latency, you're changing the rate at which the computer can process this information. So the longer the latency setting(higher number), the more it will be out of sync with the audio. I think it does regard the setting in which the audio was recorded, as mentioned above... Like I said this is me guessing...

Let me bump this again :-) Sorry, but I am still interested in this. Can anyone tell me if there are other drivers out there that act the same? As I said it is not happening with the Asio4All driver. fladd
