External midi playing too early when quantized

I have a Motu MK2 ultralite... i dont see any option on it. Everything seems fine with logic.. this only happens when i have alot of stuff going on in my session...

PDC must be set as Audio and instrument tracks when tracking
About Latency:
256 buffer and PDC as picture shows when recording...
when Mixing set the buffer at 1024 and the PDC to "All".
If you start recording with PDC set to all and buffer range processing set to ALL the resulting audio recording will be not in sync...
because PDC is an additional Buffer ... it is related with buffer processing...
Large, Medium, Small...
with Small setting you wil get a very litle delay but .... only if you set as i suggested everything will be in sync
if you need additional Sample accuraxy you need to set the *recording Delay compensation*
But this must be done with PDC set to off or Audio siftware instruments...
if you want traching with PDC set to ALL you must use Low latency Mode turn to ON!

  • External Midi Events Playing Too Early

    Hi there. Got a bit of an issue with midi timing under Logic 8, I run an Emagic AMT8 and a MTP AV as my midi interfaces but I'm noticing the midi events are playing before audio events, ie if I've got a bassline running on an plugin instrument, copy it to an external midi track and trigger a midi synth the synth is playing back earlier than plugin by about -120 ticks or whatever the delay compensation unit is in the inspector. This is global across all midi ports. I've got full plugin delay compensation turned on for the audio, my buffer is 512 (I use 2 UAD cards and thats the recommended setting)
    I've hunted high and low through the manuals but can't find any parameter or reason why this would globally apply across all external midi ports, any suggestions greatfully appreciated as its driving me nuts.

    Well Logic's Plug In Delay Compensation only works for the native Plug Ins not for external Midi stuff so the best thing to do is to record your external Midi as Audio data and align it with the rest of the music otherwise you'll get grey hair trying to find the correct delay offset to sync your external Midi.

  • MUSIC SKIPPING OR PLAYING TOO FAST WHEN PAIRED WITH A BLUETOOTH SPEAKER?

    Hi
    I am writing to help others with this problem - there seem to be a number of posts about this, which have not been resolved.
    I have just bought a Veho bluetooth speaker, which pairs and works perfectly with my brother's phone.  However, although it does pair with my iPhone 4S, when I playback any music from my library, it sounds like a chipmunk is singing - it plays far too quickly and sometimes skips large parts of the song. 
    This is a firmware issue but can easily be solved by downloading the free app 'TuneMob' from the store (it is free).  You can simply add albums from your library to its interface and it plays them perfectly through any speaker, irrespective of which OS you have installed.  I hope this helps you!

    Try resetting the PMU/SMU and PRAM/NVRAM. You'd need to identify the mode of resetting depending on the model of your G5 iMac. The Apple support sites that would help you for this are –

  • Extern midi useless: miditiming in sync with audio, is it possible?

    using a UAD-1 latency is a big issue here. Is it possible to have extern miditiming in sync when you use groups? With full pdc miditiming is useless, with pdc on tracks & instr works until you put some UAD plugin on a bus and compensate it with track advance to get the audio sync again; now extern midi is way early. This means that with any plugin; extern midi timing will be compromised!!!!!!!!!!
    Can anyone tell me if there is a way to sync midi and audio and still use groups?
    Without a workaround Logic Pro is useless. What a mess; instruments dropping out, serious miditiming issues, au validation issues... I'm getting a bit desperate here.
    regards

    yes, i know - that's been discussed on this forum though it is not something i feel strongly conversant, only to say that i believe there are ways round the problem.
    the site is www.logicprohelp.com
    and if they can't help you then no-one can.
    if it were me - and it has been when remixing older cues, i have simply put a delay (or by that i mean negative delay which brings it forward) on the midi tracks.
    maybe this is not the best method, but you could record a midi generated click (ie a click track with your external module as the source), and then loop it in playback against klopfgeist, adjusting the delay setting until it is tight. this may not offer sample accurate precision, but midi is not capable of sample accurate precision anyway.
    there are people out there who have this sorted, and my method worked fine for me, but if you do elctronic music such as house or whatever, then you may be concerned with really really tight timing in which case you might be looking for the "recognized" solution.
    have real trawl through this forum - it's been discussed.

  • Shuts down too early

    I just phoned up apple technical support and asked if i could get a repair.
    I explained my problem to them. It shuts down too early, when the battery gets from about a half to a third full, it can just randonly shut down even though there is enough power left in it. It will turn on and play again if you reset it about 6 billion times.
    Anyhow he asked me the play time of the ipod mini 2nd gen. He said that any ipod that played for at least 50% of the actual time would be considered a fully working ipod. I then asked him if i got a playtime of over 9 hours and then it switched off saying that there was no battery power remaining would the ipod be considered defective. He said no. WHAT so what apple saying is that if i get 9 hours and then it swithes off after that even though the battery isn't really empty, this is a fully working ipod. What is this.
    I could get over 9 hours of continous playback from my ipod but then if it switches off early, this is fine. NO IT ISN'T APPLE.
    Can someone help me or make a comment please.
    P.S. I have already tried updating and downgrading firmware and resetting and restoring several times. I have also recalibrated the battery nothing works it will still switch off early. It has also been in for a repair before but they sent it back to me without fixing it.

    Okay. That makes good sense.
    when the battery gets from about a half to a third full,
    You really mean that when the

    If you are getting 9 hours it is NOT switching off early. It is switching off early if it gets less than ~5 hours.

  • HELP! External MIDI is playing EARLY compared to the audio tracks!

    Hi Guys
    I have a project in L9 which has about 12 audio tracks, each running a few effects (fairly basic ones, nothing too heavy).
    Tonight I am recording a rhythm part on an external MIDI device (my Kurzweil synth). I'm quantising this part to 1/8 notes, and in the piano roll editor, it's lining up perfectly after quantization.
    However, when I play back the project, the MIDI is all EARLY!
    I've tried soloing just the MIDI and the click, and the MIDI part runs uniformly early compared to the click track.
    I believe this has something to do with the delay compensation that is in effect across all the audio channels... what's happening is that all the audio content is being delayed so all the tracks sync with each other. But for some reason, MIDI is not part of this delay compensation, and is playing in perfect time, and hence sounding early compared to the audio material.
    I've done a test new project with just one MIDI track, and when quantized, it DOESN'T suffer this problem... ie, it aligns perfectly with the click track.
    Is there any way to get external MIDI instruments to be part of the delay compensation process? Or is there some other solution to this issue?
    Really desperate here as this has come out of the blue and I can't think of any way to solve it!
    Thanks heaps guys,
    Mike

    Is this something new for Logic 9?
    I don't know, I have never used external MIDI with Logic (8 or 9) - but think it is new, yes.
    I wonder if there's a way to set the global default for MIDI so that it always has delay compensation? I can't see why anyone would want to use an external MIDI device and not have it in perfect time with their audio material!
    Yes, there is. You'll have to set it up in AMS first (choose *New Device*, and then configure the device and cable it) In Logic, you'll have to go into the Environment. You need a *Standard Instrument Object* for a monotimbral device, a, *Multi-Instrument Object* for multitimbral devices and a *Mapped Instrument object* for Drummodules. Explanation starts on pg 1082 of the LP9 pdf manual.
    Once it is all setup, you can make a template of it, or you can import the Environment layer into new projects.

  • External MIDI recorded as Audio is early

    Why is it when I record MIDI data sent from Logic 8.02 to an external synth module and recorded back to Logic as audio is the audio earlier in time than the MIDI?
    I played with various delay comp settings and this didn't seem to help.
    Many thanks!
    Alan Hayes

    I have a new Apple dual quad core 2.8Ghz Mac,10 GB RAM, 2TB HD,Apogee Ensemble, Emagic Unitor 8 MKII(USB),Logic Pro 8.02,OSX.5.4.
    I am not trying to slave a drum machine or anything else with a clock or any sync messages at all, I am just simply playing back a MIDI sequence from within Logic routed to an external MIDI synth module and recording it back into Logic as audio.
    The audio recording is earlier than the MIDI Logic sent out.
    This happens with all the MIDI external synths and drum machines I have treid not just this particular unit.
    I played with buffer settings, no difference,I turned on and off plugin delay compensation,no difference,BTW this is with a brand new song not made from any template, only one audio track and only one MIDI track, I played with recording delay and got close with a delay of 118 and the audio on beat 1 would be late then on 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10.......it would be early, then on bar 25,26 it was right on time and then it started to get later for every consecutive beat.
    Since Apple removed the ability to sync to an external MIDI clock in version 8, now I have to send my clients a MIDI clock and record their data and send it back via MIDI to their workstations or drum machines and now it won't record in time?
    I have worked with Logic since ATARI 1040STe back in the late 80s and it was always rock solid in the realm of MIDI from whence it came.
    Is there a solution to this I have overlooked?

  • Since 10.8 crackle / distortion on external FireWire soundcard when playing music (only when Mail is running)

    Since updating to Mountain Lion I have crackles in music playback with Mail app under the following conditions:
    - Mid 2009 MBPro
    - external FireWire soudcard / recording device ESI Durafire is connected
    - a pair of studio monitors connected to audio out on this device
    - Firefox is running
    - Mail app is started
    - music is playing back (with iTunes or Spotify)
    - navigating or clicking with mouse (or trackpad) into Mail or from Mail to another app it produces a short crackle / distortion in the music
    - crazy but true: when the loudness in the song itself (not via the volume-switch) increases or decreases the crackle is getting louder or less louder, too!
    - when closing Mail app, crackling is gone at once
    - when stopping music, crackling is gone at once, too
    - happens with no other app then Mail
    Any ideas?

  • Why would my video clips be running too fast when played on the monitor panel?

    I posted my problem earlier today, but re-reading it maybe I didn't explain myself well enough.
    My main question is: "why would my video clips be running too fast when played on the monitor panel ?".  This is occuring after I have selected my media from the Tasks Panel and placed them in correct order in the Timeline/Sceneline.  I knew something was wrong when I could see that the clips were not indicating their right length when viewed in the (expanded) timeline.  They were compressed into just a few seconds, whereas the clips should have been at least 5 minutes.  I ran the clips in the monitor and sure enough they ran too fast, with a lot of jerking movements.
    The 3 video clips I am trying to make into a HD PAL video were taken with my Nokia N8 mobile video camera. These are in mp4 format. Can this present a problem ?  Note that when I play these individual HD clips on my computer in (Windows Media Player) they run fine.
    After I placed the clips in my Project Panel (or before in the Organize Workspace), I have perforned no change or manipulation of the clips.  They are in their original state.
    Just too confirm that the clips did seem to be compressed, I burnt a DVD, the resultant video ran in a matter of seconds.
    Help would be greatly appreciated.

    Yes, that is what the problem was.
    Although the video camera on my Nokia N8, mobile was capturing at 25fps,
    for some reason once transfered over to PrE9 (via file transfer), the clip was interpreted as 500fps.  Once in Interpret Footage I was able to change the fps to 25.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Import midi  and play to external midi

    When I import a mid(i) file, it creates all the tracks and plays back through the system output. What I would like to do is play it to my USB attached external midi device.
    I can do this by moving individually each track to a newly created External Midi type track but was hoping for an easier/faster way.

    I can play the external keyboard with Garage Band in Record mode and it records just fine.
    However, when I select Garage Band to play, nothing plays on the external keyboard.
    I can set the Output Device to Build-In Output and Garage Band plays the software synth on my computer just fine.

    What I'm hoping for is for Garage Band to send MIDI out to the external keyboard.
    Does anyone know if Garage Band can do this?

    Ah.. then I suspect you just need to go to Logic's prefs/Audio and check CoreAudio...
    It has been unchecked somehow...

  • Why does Playback stop when I have an external MIDI channel?

    I finally have to try to sync up external gear with Mainstage 2.2.2. This time it's sending midi clock to an Akai MPK25. I set up the external midi instrument channel, set the channel's midi out to port 1 on the Akai, set the Akai to external clock. The Akai seems to pick up the tempo (mostly) but my Playback instances that start with Play action cut out after about 1 measure (yes they're set to Loop).
    Doesn't mater which instance. The clock keeps going but there's a substantial lag to the transport controls. After a few seconds I can retrigger the Playback that stopped and then it loops as it should.
    As soon as I delete the external midi strip, everything is back to normal. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it fixable? Maybe an Akai thing?
    I've wrestled with MS to get it gig-worthy for a year and some new bug always seems to pop up.
    System:
    iMac 20" Core2Duo 2GHz, 4GB RAM

    I try 2/3 things.
    - monitor sleep after 1 minute
    - computer sleep after 3h
    - itunes playing songs
    .....after a minute, monitor sleep and so does itunes....
    VLC doesn't have this issu (luckyly)....

    I subscribed to Music Match with iTunes and yet my ipad settings for Music only still has the option to subscribe, and therefore I cannot click on an option to Activagte iTunes Match, since it is not there. I have all the right number of songs from the icloud showing up in my ipad now, and I have played a few, but when I tried to turn off the computer, it showed a field stating that my ipad music would stop playing too, and it did. I thought this might have something to do with homesharing, but this I thought was something separate from iCloud.
    There is something wrong, but I don't understand what. It has just synced, but the problem persists.

    Home sharing is separate from iTunes Match.  Sounds like you were playing music using home sharing, which turned off when you turned off your computer.
    Open iTunes on your computer and go to the Store menu.  Confirm that there is a setting called Turn Off iTunes Match.  That will confirm that iTunes Match is enabled on your computer.  Then check to see what Apple ID you subscribed to iTunes Match with.  It will be the ID in Store>View Account (in parentheses).
    On your iPad, confirm that you are signed in with this same ID in Settings>iTunes & App Store (at the top).  If so, you should see an iTunes Match setting listed with an on/off slider.  Slide it on to enable iTunes Match on your iPad.
