At face value this would seem to be yet another ‘clock jitter hardware’ thread… but with a big difference
…or at least I think its a difference - can someone please help me understand this?
Process to reproduce
-
I program kick drum in Digitakt - 4 on the floor - on the grid
-
Start resampling the kick track on the Digitakt for 30 sec and save file
-
Import to daw (using transfer app)
-
Check BPM matches DAW and sample is not warped!
-
Align first kick to daw grid
-
The kick 30 sec later is slightly before or behind the grid (as if the digitakt clock is consistently faster or slower)
Comments
I realise the daw clock is slightly different to the Digitakt hardware clock - but it shouldn’t matter!
It is a 48khz wav file - a grid of numbers where each kick should occur after a certain number of samples - regardless of which digital device opens the file.
It SHOULD align with the daw perfectly.
yet it does not and I don’t understand why
It is the Digitakt’s own clock printing its own wave file
no USB audio interface buffer pipe-line, no drivers, no midi clock sync issues - simple!
If I had hair I would tear it out!
