Infinity latency issue (Evening) - NI

Hi all,
I am currently having issues with our Infinity with regards to our ping/latency (I see other forum users are not that far off with related issues) and any help would be appreciated. The issue has being ongoing for the last few weeks causing online gaming to become hugely frustrating as a FPS gamer. Our Infinity is FTTC only with Copper to the house with the BT cabinet located on the street behind us (Aprrox. 300 yards) and currently run a Homehub 2 with the Openreach modem on the unlimited Infinity package (2?).
I have being monitoring our ping over the last number of nights, and as like a few other forum users, my issue seems to arise in the evening so far - 6:30PM onward (I will have to monitor weekends during the day and night).
Ping to UK and EU servers used to be great, always on the good side of 35ms. Now, EU servers has turned into a lag fest after 6:30PM and my ping can be anywhere from 70/80ms to 120ms depending on the night and UK servers has crept up to around 50ms and a bit more at times.
I have done the BT wholesale speed tests and the results are below:
As an example below is a trace route done on a COD German server done before 6:30PM tonight:
Tracing route to 176.57.141.240 over a maximum of 30 hops

Hopefully I haven't left anything out.

I know this isn't what you are going to want to hear, but BT are responsible for everything up to roughly hop 7. Hop 8 could possibly belong to BT but hop 9 appears to have crossed into the ownership of dtag.de (Deutsche Telecom). This probably means the problem is either the link between Deutsche telecom and BT, or more likely, a problem within Deutsche telecom themselves.
I don't think BT will be able to help you with this.
When you are getting the issue on the German COD server, can you try quitting and connecting to a UK COD server to see if you have the same issue. I am fairly certain you won't have the same problem as you won't be routing through the faulty equipment.
I noticed you also mentioned above that in the evening the UK servers creep up a little. Can you try using WinMTR to run a trace and post the results in here. Should also help identify where in the UK the issue is happening.

BT Infinity Latency Issues for Gamers

Ok well after 2 months of getting BT Infinity installed, (due to admin problems), all is working great. Getting Bandwidth of about 30Mbs great.
The problem is online gaming, you need split second timing to play the game, so that means low latency.
Over 2 weeks or so its got worse and worse, 150ms and above it is un-playable online. I am getting on average about 250-300ms at night, gaming.
On my old adsl wired bt broadband I was getting on average 45ms. This was on my old system.
I think the system is trying to optimise for maximum bandwidth, and therefore comprimising on latency.
There must be a way technically to optimise for low latency at the expense of bandwidth.
I have raised and call and managed to fight my way through to Tier 2 support, (at least they understand the terms I am using yay). There are other gamers with the same problem, and there is an investingation this week.
If there is no solutions then its back to ADSL wired 3Mbs broadband for me but at least I will get 50ms latency.
Will keep you posted, this will be a big blow to BT Infinity for online gamers if they cant fix it
Cheers

Hi there,
I'm just tossing my £0.02. Have you considered that there could be congestion at your exchange/gateway?
I had Infinity installed on Friday (I'm on the LNADK exchange) and below is the ping/jitter test that I did about 10 minutes ago.

High latency issue of an evening whilst gaming.

Hiya`s Peeps, Having recently switched to BT from Virgin (this being only my third day as a customer) as the VM service for gaming in my area (Sth Manchester) on thier 50mb package was simply not viable due to over utilisation issues, I now find myself experiencing high latency issues with my BT service.
All three evenings have been lost to me as my in game latency (World of Warcraft) has rose upto 3500ms with occasional disconnections.
Also strange was that was after the BB was first switched on I had a consistent in-game latency of 24ms home and 24ms world, this lasted around 8 hours until I experienced my first lag spike, I was disconnected and when I eventually was able to get back in game, some 20 minutes or so later, my home and world latency had changed to 42/45 (still playable ) but every 10 to 15 minutes the world latency would again rise to around 3k and above and I would again be disconnected from the server.
I do apologise for the lack of any technical detail within this post as I simply do not understand such and struggle terribly with it, I am very happy with both my speed and ping tests, both being excellent in comparison to that that I would see when using the VM service.
What I am after I guess is advice from the community on how to get the best from BT bb for playing my online game, this connection is only used for World of Warcraft and very light reading on the www, I do not have a phone connected to this line and use no wireless connections with it at all, this PC (hard wired) is the only contraption connected.
Any help and advice will be greatly appreciated, Thankyou
Les

welcome to the forum
there is a 10 day training period after your connection is activated during which time you need to leave the router connected with no manual resets. The router may reset (often) during training but that is normal as the equipment in the exchnage tries to find the best stable connection for your line.
after the training period is complete and you have a stable connection then you can get the latency changed to 'fast' if yours latency is 'interleaved' changing to fast can make your line less stable than interleaved but it is the choice of gamers

Latency issue Logic pro 9.1.3.

Hey,
At the same time as upgrading to Logic from Garageband
I bought a Cakewalk Roland UA25EX ext usb soundcard because i was told
i'd have latency issues if i used the caps lock keyboard for midi
or direct input thru the input jack of
my MacBookPro
(5,3 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.8 GHz)
Sometimes i use the caps lock keyboard to sketch in midi ideas and mostly it's ok.
Other times it's delayed and there's no smile on my face.
When recording with guitars/303/generators DI thru the soundcard
I have latency issues that don't seem to be very regular.
Sometimes it's worse than others.
I make sure i have nothing else running on the computer,
just Logic Pro 9.1.3, so it's not like i'm overloading macbrains.
I have tried all the rebooting, i/o buffer size changing (down to 256), headfones from the mac output/headfones from the soundcard/ etc
but still no luck.
I can record with the low latency button on
and it's kind of better, nearly, but that means i don't get to record with the effects on the channel strip
that affects the recording/playing quite a lot, as i'm used to recording with effects/guitar amps if i go DI.
This was the selling point - that i could record DI wthout disturbing Thee Neighbours.
It seems to have gotten worse recently.
I wonder if it's been corrupted somehow because it also has been acting funny when i bounce down -
the play head is set to 1111 and i save - then in the bounce window
the start position says a silly random number and it takes a few attempts of fiddly changes to get it to stay at 1111...frustration!
Is there something i can do or is this normal? -
it seems weird that a Pro app that cost me so much £s wouldn't work in a simple recording/bounce down set up?
or has anyone else had this problem and fixed it?
If i wipe Logic and install again would i have to go from my Logic Express and then up to my Logic Pro upgrade/extension again?
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hey Fox,
Thanks for that info -well umm, yes i installed the correct drivers.
I use just the AU plugins or the basic logic ones on the channel strip
but even when i was going in dry there was still a delay.
I had experimented with the buffer size, as mentioned, but not gone down that low cus
last time i tried that i had other strange things happen!
But i will try again.
Sample rate was at zero, btw. Always says zero.
But today, when i just opened logic, the sample rate had changed. Strange. I need to understand this side of things so i'm gonna read up.
Also, if plugins are involved, i installed some novation bass station and some freeware TAL bass synth
stuff recently but don't have them up when i'm recording.
Maybe they sit there quietly and interfere just by their facial expressions or sumthing!!
I booted Mr MBP just now and i pulled out the USB and he's shining me a big ole red optical light
out of his output jack!!
In SysPrefs it has only optical digital as an output option.
In the last few days as i was playing around trying to correct the latency issue i noticed that the output options had changed to the UA25 and the 'digital optical' options - rather than the UA25 and 'line out'.
I'm off to go and read up on how to get my line out back, and try this buffer thing again.
Thanks again

Video Latency Issue On The Mac Book Pro 2.4 With Leopard 10.5.5

Gear: Macbook Pro (early 2008 model) - 2.4gigs cpu 2gigs ram - all the latest updates... no other applications running during the test
Hi folks. Currently I am having a latency issue when trying to record directly into iMovie using the built-in microphone and iSight camera. Basically, the video seems 5 - 7 frames late to the audio. I found that a good way to demonstrate this issue was simply doing a few handclaps as a test.
This is a quick handclap test displaying some video latency during recording with the iSight camera in iMovie 08.
- Just download this link — and import it into iMovie 08 - Here is a link to a zip file that you can import into iMovie 08 - It's 2.5meg - .m4v export - Also it was recorded as standard format and audio midi setup app: audio was set to 44.1:
http://www.brainbeast.com/37/clap-1-large.zip
- Play from beginning. As soon as you hear a clap sound — pause with the space bar - then back up before the clap with the left arrows
- Then click the right arrow several times until you hear the beginning of the clap sound ( This is the audio: start frame)
- Now — you will notice the video still has an open hand. At this point click the right arrow, counting as you go several times until you see the hand close. This is the amount of frames that the video is late to the audio. For me it seems to be an average of about 5-7 frames late.
Unfortunately iMovie 06 nor QuickTime will not scrub audio as you go frame by frame with the arrow keys so you cannot test it there. If you have some other application such as final cut Pro, you could test it with that.
! IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PERFORM THE TEST YOURSELF:
- Just record a new movie in iMovie 08 - using the built-in mic and i-Sight camera — and see if it is also slightly out of sync
Note: to be as fair as possible — I did a slow handclap ( in order to not challenge the frame rates) - also, in order to get the maximum volume I used an open palm ( clap on the palms with your fingers spread out as you can see I did.)
Please let me know if this latency appears to be the same for you as it does for me.
Q: Is it just my machine or does it happen to you too?
Q: Does anyone know a way around this latency issue?
Q: Does anyone know if Apple is aware of this latency issue?

I am experiencing the same incredibly frustrating problem as well. When I record directly into iMovie
'08, the video lags the audio by a fraction of a second.
I have tried shutting down all other applications and having only iMovie up. Same problem.
I tried recording the video into QuickTime instead of iMovie and experienced the same problem. (Which makes me think it is perhaps a hardware or operating system issue.)
I tried the technique suggested here and on other sites of "double-dragging" the clip from the Events pane into a project (one normal drag and one Shift+Cmd drag) so that I had the audio and video as two separate tracks. After muting the audio on the video track, I then attempted to slide the audio over to sync it with the video, but even down at the 1/2 second zoom setting I didn't seem to have enough granularity to move the audio so that it was exactly in sync with the video. I was wishing I could use the arrow keys or something like that to move the audio just one frame at a time.
All I want to do is record a video directly into iMovie '08 - this would seem to be something trivial to do!

What interface works best for GB? NO delay, latency issues please!!!

What is the best way to record electric guitar or a microphone (for acoustic & vocals) into Garage Band? I tried plugging directly in to the mic input and selected low latency but there still is a bit of delay. I assume I need a USB or firewire interface. What are some good ones that are ultra portable? This is for the road. Thanks for reading.

wouldnt getting a super CPU fix latency issues? even if it did have to be routed through a thousand places, a fast processor could get it done without latency issues, no?
Yes and no!
First, Garageband gives you limited ability to change the size of its buffer, which impacts latency. So even if your CPU were fast enough, I'm not sure if GB would allow you to dial down the buffer size in order to fully take advantage of it.
Second, latency isn't only a function of CPU speed. There are other places where the audio can get bottlenecked as it makes its way in and out and through the computer. That's why some of the systems that market themselves as ultra-low latency for professional work use PCIe cards in order to shovel audio back and forth faster than is possible via USB or Firewire. For example, Apogee's Symphony System connects via a proprietary PCIe card in order to offer phenomenally low latency rivaling dedicated systems that use the computer only as a host (Garageband is a native system that uses the computer for everything).
So while a fast CPU is at the heart of the latency issue, there are a number of surrounding issues that also influence it. The workaround of having an interface with its own routing system - so you can listen to your audio as you record before it has a chance to go through the computer and get delayed - is a cheap and elegant, if imperfect solution.

Dell 24" Latency Issues & Features?

I have a Quad on the way, and I'm looking at LCD displays for it. I've been reading the postings about Dell's 24" LCD, which looks like a winner in most respects, but was wondering about the "latency issue" I've read about here and there regarding LCD use for Photoshop still work vs. Final Cut video work. Does anyone know anything about this "issue?" Or if it is an "issue?" So far, the Dell spanks the Apple 23" in most aspects, especially price.
Are all of you Dell 24" owners happy with your purchase?
Can an Eye-One calibrator calibrate this Dell?
Are there any connection issues with the Dell for a Quad/Geo6600 OEM card?
Thanks!!

I know I can still read this forum post at 90° off center...there's some brightness change around 45° off center, and ever-so-slight contrast shift at around 70° off center, but colors on my desktop seem to be 'still there'. I can litterally put my head on the 'side' of the display, so 1 eye is looking almost at the back of the display and the other at the front, and I can still define objects, colors and shapes, and read the 12-point text on this page. I just gets out of focus real easy since it's almost 2 feet 'distance' for my eyes to re-focus between the 'left' and 'right' of the screen :-D
The only complaint I do have of this monitor is that it's a 'bit' TOO bright, even set to the lowest brightness in the display's calibration. Although as LCDs get dimmer with age, I think it will work out in the long run...
(I just bought it last week).

DPC Latency issue, need to update BIOS?

I'm into recording music and latency is of great importance. I did a DPC latency check and noticed I was getting some major peaks, constantly. I tried everything, removing sound card, disabling drivers, etc, etc and nothing works. Then I did a google search and found this: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=125206.0
I have...
Model name: 7519 v1.0
M/B ERP Version: 06
I have NEVER flashed BIOS before and have no idea how to do it. I don't even have a floppy drive. I really need to fix this latency issue though, otherwise I will have to buy a new computer :(
Can someone help me? I sent en inquiry to the support, but did not get a reply.
Thank you.

What is the model name of your mainboard? There are many MS-7519 mainboards with different PCB and ERP numbers (your ERP number is incomplete, there must be three digits):
http://eu.msi.com/service/search/?kw=7519&type=product
The best way to approach this, is to check your current BIOS Version as displayed on the P.O.S.T. Status Screen:
Write down the full BIOS ID String as it appears in the red box in the example picture. When we know the BIOS Version, it is possible to check whether or not there is Latency Fix for your board out there or not.
Have a look here and make yourself familiar with our MSI HQ Forum USB Flashing Tool: >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<.

New iMAC giving huge latency issues.

HI everybody,
Im new to these forums as I have just recently purchased an iMAC, 3.06Ghz, with 6 GB of RAM for my studio.
Before this I was running an INtel based pC with Pentium processor, which worked as fairly well and absolutely without any latency issues.
Here's the problem:
i hooked up a MAckie ONYX 1640 mixer with Firewire I/O into the iMac and setting anywhere between 64 samples to 128 samples shows me theoretical latency of between 5 to 8 Ms, which is alright, I used to work with similar settings on the OC and it is hardly percievable. The problem is , the Latency sounds much higher!!
Its definitely not 8 Ms. and with lower buffer sizes, obviously the audio starts clicking and popping.
I then hooked the iMac with my Presonus Firebox which iv used smoothly with the PC for three years, without ever having latency issues...but this time too, the IMAC is adding latency and audi coming back from the DAW is very percievably late. Definitely around 25-30 Ms at such low buffer sizes!
Can someone help me out here, in case there s any optimisation to be done for the mac to make audio its top priority etc, and to better performance?
Highly appreciated!
Much thanks

You poor boy!
Apparently you had some unrealistic expectations.
Many
plugins
just NEED
a lot of
latency
to calculate the processing to the sound. In fact, there is a rough law stating that you can't have top sonic quality and NO latency using software only, especially mastering compressors and reverbs.
You could try the *Low latency mode* button, it also immediately shows you which plugins have a significant latency, as they will be bypassed in LLM.
This is especially true for 'high end' plugins like Space Designer, AdLimiter, Multipressor and a whole load of others. If you need reverb on voice just to have a 'moral support' when recording, choose a 'simpler' reverb, or, better even, use direct monitoring and a HARDWARE reverb that only adds reverb to the monitoring path.
Plugins are meant more for mixing than for tracking.

Time Capsule stuck at Preparing for Backup, and internet TC latency issue

I have an iMac that backs up to my 1TB Time Capsule. I have had it since March. Suddenly it stopped backing up. It get's stuck at "preparing for backup" and never actually completes a backup.
I am also experiencing a HUGE latency issue with my internet connection. I am constantly having to use the 'refresh' page button in Safari.
help....

TB,
*_Time Machine May Report "Preparing..." For a Long Time_*
Consider these factors regarding an extended period of "Preparing...". Consider each topic separately and do not attempt to act on all of them at once.
*Recent Crash or Other Major System Event* (Deep Traversal)
The reasons for this process are described in an article by George Schreyer. “During the preparation step it checks the FSEvents log for consistency. If it determines that something isn't quite right it has to rescan the whole disk. This can take quite awhile. A full rescan is always triggered by a crash, an unplanned shut down event or by booting from some other bootable disk between backups…. After a crash, Time Machine must scan the whole disk to determine what it has to do because it cannot trust the information that it left behind. Connected via an Ethernet connection, this phase would typically take 20 minutes on an older PowerBook. Being connected wirelessly stretches this phase out to over 3 hours.” [http://www.girr.org/mac_stuff/backups.html]
According to the following KB article it can sometimes take a very long time if Time Machine begins this “deep traversal” and has to compare data inventories. This may apply to your situation, particularly if many Gigs of data are involved. (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1516)
*Anti-Virus Software*
Running anti-virus software can interfere with the backup process. Either disable it altogether, or try the suggestion outlined here, “If you use third-party anti-virus scanning software and have issues, make sure your Time Machine back up folder (Backups.backupdb on the Time Machine disk) is excluded from virus scanning.” (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1516)
*Software Updates* #
Installing new software, upgrading existing software, or updating Mac OS X system software can create major changes in the structure of your Macs directories. Time Machine will backup every file that has changed since the installation.
If you take a look at the Console logs Time Machine may be reporting that your backups need "deep traversal". That's fine. Time Machine knows what is wrong and how to fix it. If you have a great deal of data, it may take quite awhile.
After an OS update (like 10.5.5) Time Machine realizes the system no longer matches what it looked like during the previous backup. So it has determined that it's earlier catalogue of what-should-be-where is 'untrustable'. So it is going to go item-by-item comparing the before and after of your system. If you have just performed an OS Update then Time Machine knows what it's doing - let it do it!
*Spotlight Keeps Indexing Backup Drive* #
It may be that Time Machine can’t proceed or complete a backup due to a Spotlight indexing error. During this period, take a look at the Spotlight icon in the upper right corner of your screen. Is there a tiny dot pulsating in the center of the spyglass? Click on the icon. Is there a progress bar displayed? Generally Spotlight indexing is a good thing. But at time it may hang and never progress, preventing backups from taking place.
Go to System Prefs --> Spotlight --> Privacy Tab.
Drag your Time Machine disk into the window. It should now be among the items to exclude from indexing.
Now quit System Prefs.
Reopen System Prefs and remove ("-") the Time Machine disk from the window.
This should clear out Spotlights cache. Naturally, Spotlight should begin indexing again (maybe even for a few hours depending on how much data there is), but it should eventually stop.
*Reboot Time Capsule* #
Stop the backup from the Time Machine menu.
When the Time Machine icon stops spinning, unplug the TC from the wall outlet.
Wait 10-15 seconds.
Re-plug it in again.
After it has restarted (30-60 seconds), attempt another backup.
Time Machine will report “Preparing…” again, but it shouldn’t be lasting more than a couple of hours.
Let us know if any of the suggestions above helped in your case.
Cheers!

Ping/latency issues.

I've recently had my line upgraded from a 500k to a 2500k ip profile, and for a short period of time it worked great, consistent speeds etc. Roughly a week ago my ip profile was lowered to 2000k, at which point I suffered frequent broadband connection drop out, phone call after phone call ensued and now my improved ip profile has returned however I am receiving in excess of 300ms ping (according to several different online testers) which has rendered almost every online application useless. Any ideas?
P.S I recently had an engineer to run teests on the line and he reported no faults, I don't understand the problem.

Hmm i've never made anything worse (as far as ping/latency) issues are concerned by restarting my router (Even though I get a 15ms ping so I wouldn't know). The only thing (which I know of) that will be disrupted by restarting your router is the DLM but that shouldn't do anything over 1 restart.
A hub reset will also force dynamic IP setting from the RAS, most if not all ping issues are to do with which RAS you are connected to, and the traffic on the backhaul.
High latency can be experienced at level 32 interleave, noticeable especially on gaming.
Dynamic Line Management runs constantly and only changes the connection if it is "flapping"...
A re-sync makes no changes to line configuration, other than to sync at the highest possible rate for the line condition.

T530 and win8 latency issues

I have a Thinkpad T530 (2392-3JG) with a clean installation of Windows 8. I have been experiencing some gaming issues, when once in a while my ping rises to 500ms. I tested the issue by pinging my default gateway, and the lowest ping was 3ms, climbing to 500ms once every 15 seconds or so. I tried the same test on my win7 installation on another partition (but on the same machine), it does something similar, while ping jums "only" to about 300ms. On my sister's computer I get a constant 1ms ping to my default gateway, as it should. Therefore I think the problems must be somewhere in the drivers.
I downloaded the Intel Wireless LAN (11agn) drivers from this site: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=HT072084

I followed these steps and my latency issue did improve by about 20% - 25% so thank you, I'm now getting a PING of around 75ms - 80ms.
But I would also like to know if there are any changes I can make to the WGA600N Gaming Adapter that would decrease my PING time even further.
Since I decreased the Beacon Interval and Threshold values on the router, should I also decrease them on the advanced settings page of the gaming adapter?
On this advanced settings page there are also the options of Aggregation enabling, Short GI enabling, and Extra Wireless Protection -- Which of these boxes, if any, should I have checked?
Also, should Frame Bursting be enabled on the router, and would enabling DMZ or QoS help any? If so, would I want to put the gaming adapter's IP address/MAC address into the DMZ/QoS or the PS3's IP address/MAC address?
Thank you for any further assisstance you can lend!

Intermittent latency issue!

Occasionally a session will develop a latency issue and I can't get it to go away.
I'll deactivate any and all plugins, change buffer size, basically strip down to a clean session, and it's still there. I'll open a different session will a ton of tracks and plugins going at buffer of 64 and not a lick of latency.
Is there something I can "clear" in a session... like a history or something?
please help! very frustrating.
tight lines

I've tried that a bunch, and I've even tried to save the session with all it's assets under a new name.
Same deal.
It's like that particular session gets a bug in it somewhere. It makes me think there could be a history or a preference I could clear or something.
When it happened this last time, I had one audio file playing a guitar track I just laid down and I flipping through different drum samples for a programmed beat as the loop played. A couple of the kits took a little while to load and seemed to "bog" things down for a second, then it loaded and was fine... but along came the latency! And it's won't leave.

Bus latency issue

I am sure there is a simple solution to this ... I haven't found it on my searches yet.
In Logic 7.2 I am routing BFD auxiliaries to one bus and running some overall compression and eq. Now I have latency on the bus and it is lagging behind the rest of the tracks. What can I do to compensate and pull it back up to speed with the other tracks?

I am sorry no one has seen fit to help you with this problem however help is at hand please take time to read this very carefully. I believe this is your answer you seek, The reason I have gone into such depth is simple so that you will have a grounded understanding of how logic address the problem and also what plugs in Logic have Latency within them by default. Well here goes
Logic Pro 7.1: Full Plug-in Delay Compensation can cause late recordings and increased latency
In Logic Pro 7.1, if you set Plug-in Delay Compensation to All, any new tracks you record will be late and out of sync with previously recorded tracks. You may also experience increased latency when playing Audio Instruments live. Here are some concepts behind the issue and tips for resolving it.
About full delay compensation
One of the new features in Logic Pro 7.1 is full delay compensation across busses, aux channels, and outputs. This means you can place plug-ins that normally induce latency on busses, auxes, or outputs, and the audio routed through these plug-ins will be in sync with everything. Logic achieves this by calculating the amount of delay caused by plug-ins assigned to a bus, aux, or output, and delaying the streams sent to other busses, auxes, or outputs by an appropriate amount to line everything up. This ensures that all tracks will be synced to sample-accuracy.
Example scenario
To give you a better understanding of what's going on here, let's say you have a simple song with a few drum, bass, guitar, and vocal tracks. All the drum tracks are routed to a bus with several plug-ins inserted that together induce 500 ms of latency. The vocals are routed through another bus that has a set of plug-ins that induce 250 ms of latency, and the bass and guitar tracks are routed straight to the main outputs without going through any latency-creating plug-ins. If latency were not corrected, then the bass and guitar tracks would play 500 ms in front of the drums. The vocals would be 250 ms in front of the drums but 250 ms behind the guitar and bass.
With full delay compensation engaged, Logic Pro will delay the streams sent to the outputs for guitar and bass playback by 500 ms to line them up with the drums, and will also delay the bus the vocals are streamed to by 250 ms to line them up with the drums and guitars. The precise calculations are handled for each stream automatically. During playback and mixing, the delay created to compensate for plug-in latency is imperceptible, but it can cause problems if you do any tracking after turning on full plug-in delay compensation. These recordings will be late because of the delay that Logic imposes to compensate for latency. The degree of lateness will vary, depending on which plug-ins are in the signal chain.
Eliminating latency
There are several ways to deal with these latency issues. The best way is to simply avoid setting up any signal routing that involves using plug-ins that create latency on busses, auxes, or outputs until you are done tracking. Once you start mixing, go ahead and set up any routing you like, including setting Plug-in Delay Compensation to "All."
If you can't avoid recording tracks after setting up such a routing scheme, then bypass any plug-ins you have on busses, auxes, or outputs that create latency, and change your delay compensation setting from "All" to "Audio tracks and instruments" while you are recording. You can quickly bypass plug-ins by Option-clicking on their inserts in the Track Mixer. You can toggle the Plug-in Delay Compensation setting by choosing Logic Pro > Preferences > Audio > General, or by setting up a key command for "Plug-In Delay Compensation: All." This key command will toggle the delay compensation setting between "All" and "Audio tracks and instruments." When you finish recording, re-enable the plug-ins on the busses and toggle the delay compensation setting back to "All."
Note: Bypassing plug-ins on Outputs will not eliminate the latency that they create. To eliminate it, you must remove these plug-ins entirely from the Output's insert slots.
If you are recording audio, another strategy would be to choose Audio > Audio Hardware & Drivers, then disable Software Monitoring. You would then need to monitor your recording via an external hardware mixer, or third party software mixing application that may be provided with your audio interface. When Logic is not providing software monitoring of incoming audio, then it can correctly position audio recordings even when full delay compensation is enabled. It is important to note that this technique will not help with recording Audio Instruments.
For the same reasons as described above, you may get increased latency when playing Audio Instrument tracks live if the delay compensation is set to All. As with recording audio tracks, try to complete any Audio Instrument recording for a song before turning on the full delay compensation. If you find it necessary to add a new audio instrument recording after setting up a signal routing that involves latency-causing plug-ins on busses, auxes, or outputs, then follow the same advice stated above for adding recorded audio. You may also notice that the meters on busses, auxes, or outputs that have delay-compensated plug-ins will not be in sync with the tracks that are routed through them—however, the audio will be sample-accurate. Additionally, the Song Position Line's visible position will not be compensated. Unless you are using an exceptionally large set of delay-compensated plug-ins, this should not be particularly noticeable.
Another effect with delay compensation set to All is that MIDI tracks triggering external sound modules will be out of sync. This is because Logic has no direct control over the audio output of external devices. A possible solution for this would be to route the audio outputs from the external MIDI devices to inputs on your audio hardware and monitor them through Logic. This way, the audio streams from the MIDI devices can be compensated during playback. Using Logic's External instrument to route MIDI to your external devices is an ideal way to work in this situation.
Here is a list of Logic plug-ins that cause latency:
Adaptive Limiter
Limiter
Multipressor
Noise Gate
Silver Gate
Linear Phase EQ
Match EQ
EnVerb
Space Designer
Denoiser
Pitch Correction
Pitch Shifter II
Vocal Transformer
Some third-party Audio Unit plug-ins may also cause latency—refer to the user guide for the respective products to see about this. All plug-ins that run from DSP cards such as the PowerCore or UAD card have inherent latency. Logic Pro compensates for the latency of any of these third party plug-ins, but as with Logic's own plug-ins, avoid assigning those that exhibit latency to busses, auxes or outputs until you are finished with tracking.
You may also find that simply bypassing plug-ins that run from DSP cards will not be sufficient to correct the latency they induce. If you are using these plug-ins, there are a couple of ways to deal with this. One would be to remove the plug-in entirely while you are recording tracks, and then re-insert them when you're done recording. Be sure to save your settings for each of these as a preset first, so that you can recover the appropriate settings when you re-insert them. Taking this idea a bit further, you could save the entire channel strip setting for each bus, aux or output that uses plug-ins that cause latency and then easily reassign everything for each channel in one go.
I hope you will get something useful from this good luck

Annoying latency issue, help please!

Hi there,
I just purchased an M-Audio Firewire Solo interface to use with Logic Pro.
Ive set it up using the Aggregate Device setup so I can use my Macbook speakers/headphone when Im not at home.
Whenever I use Logic's Guitar Amp Pro on a guitar track, I get so much latency.
I thought it might be an issue with the interface (even though it's advertised as having zero latency) but the thing is, if I try to record the guitar signal with Guitar Amp Pro switched on, I get latency, and when I record the dry signal, there is no latency.
Then I add Guitar Amp Pro (no other effects) to the track and the latency starts again, even on playback not record!
Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this?
Im running a Macbook 1.8CD with 2GB RAM, although Ive never had latency issues before even when using large amounts of MIDI instruments simultaneously along with real instruments and multiple effects.
Thanks

Turn the Plugin Delay Compensation in your Audio prefs to "all", so then at least the latency of the playback should go away. Concerning the latency when using GAP in live mode try the lowest possible Buffer setting in your Audio prefs, that should improve it. Also make shure there is no Adaptive Limiter inserted in your channel strip as it delays the signal due to it's lookahead function.
