Latency / Rytm

Hi Guys,

I’m a new Rytm user who has Latency Issues.

I’m running on Ableton 9.1 and using Overbridge.
The recording is never tight. And is changing slightly constantly. So the Latency compensation in Ableton doesn’t solve the problem.
I’m running Rytm on 128 as well as the DAW.
Samplingrate is 4410.
I’ve tried to change these settings but they don’t affect the latency problem.
Any ideas, what i could do???
Also tried master outputs as well as the single ones.

THX!!

Latency often depends on your interface settings: Try to setup different monitor settings in LIVE and your interface and watch the results.

Next step you can try to setup Live’s track setting for midi clock.

The problem is, that I’ve never had any latency issues except with Overbridge. The Aira Usb connection worked fine and also I’m running a Synth over midi at the moment which works perfectly!

The OB-Live-connection syncs perfect for AR/A4. OT and MnM need a 4ms track compensation in my rig done by shifting the clock signal. Every other synth is synced by an RME multiclock which is synced by Audio from Live.

I think that you monitor your AR via Live which causes a (signal-)latency. Try to turn it off and take the signal directly from the interface - in there the DAW’s signal and AR’s signal are perfect tight.

We talked about this before but I still don’t totally understand what you mean. You mean take jack cables and connect those to your audio interface inputs and monitor the AR that way? Isn’t that the same as not using Overbridge?

I tried an aggregated device and that lowers latency a bit(not that much) but it was only possible for 1 elektron at the time. If I connected my AK and built a device with both the AR and the AK the total latency would shoot up to 45 to 50ms to work without long glitches.

Regular latency for Overbridge on OSX is 28ms. Thats pretty steady and what most users report. Buffersize 128 in DAW and Plugs, latency of the Babyface and Metric Halo are about 2 to 4ms on the same rig.

yep, i remember.

There are two ways to ‘hear’ the AR/A4:

First - directly from its main-outs via interface

Second - via USB-audio over Lives track (-monitor)

In the first setup AR’s signal arrives almost at the same time as the DAW-return signal (at the interfaces output). On OB-Setup only main-inputs were activated, alll outputs off. In my rig there is no audible latency, the AR runs tight to Live’s metronom.

In the second Setup, the AR-Signal travels over USB, over the track monitor and via master track as DAW-return into the interface.

If you could listen both simultaniously (AR main and DAW return) you will get a clearly doubled signal (40-50ms = something inbetween 1/8-1/16 notes).

If you listen the DAW-return only in the secon setuo, you will hear a delayed signal, appearing as ‘latency’.

Hope this will help a bit to understand.
