whenever I record with Overbridge I get this exact latency.
Here’s the thing though.
Sometimes it’s this far behind and other times it’s the same distance ahead of the beat.
It’s driving me nuts!
Does anybody have any tips for using Overbridge with AR2 + AF2 in LPX?
Same thing here. It seems to be a delayed start when syncing to the DAW transport rather than latency though. I have been offsetting everything else in the session to compensate. I believe it is exactly 1 bar.

It’s hard for me to believe that it’s 2022 and we still have such a hard time dealing with latency and timing. For all the cool things that USB can do in reality I often dread it far more than I did with midi 20-25 years ago. The trade off seems to be that (at least for me) the need far less in external mixing gear.
I just leave an ‘empty’ bar ahead of where I actually want to record, so everything has enough time to sync up and become reasonably happy before notes are triggered. If it’s an internal sequence, then I just assume that 1st bar is off and start with with the second as my ‘real’ starting point. That or I wind up recording it and manually moving/nudging the audio back to where I want it.
I read/hear good things about ERM multiclock and some instruments have better performance than others, but nothing that I have is ‘dead on’ when hitting ‘start’ on the transport. All my gear has varying degrees of issues and it’s always compensated for in some way or another.

I’m guessing that the 1 bar delay may be to buffer any potential latency and/or jitter. Other than the delayed start, the sync is 100%; which is actually difficult to do over USB.
I send clock from my DAW to all other devices in my studio through Expert Sleepers USAMO. Before finding this device, jitter was destroying my outboard integration. After installing the USAMO, my studio is dead tight.
Cheers.

do you have any plugins loaded? Some plugins don’t properly record their latency and it causes total havoc. I always track the hardware in first when I am working with a DAW. So basically my template is audio tracks only and one track for my ERM plugin, which is latency accurate.
Lately I have been exporting stems off hardware or recording into a hardware multitrack and pulling those into the DAW just so I don’t have to deal with this stuff anymore.

Thanks for the tip!
Will def try it out.
No plug-ins loaded.
I was doing everything through my OT using the AR2 and AF2 in a pretty much DAWless configuration and then using LPX like a 2 track tape machine, recording takes until did a decent performance.
But then I was wanting to split the tracks and use Overbridge. And then down the rabbit hole, I went!
