Latency when using outboard gear

Hi! Can anyone tell me how to fix the delay in sound when using outboard gear insertet on a Logic track??
I have set latency compensation to "All", still the signal is clearly delayed.
I'm using Logic Pro 8 with a Digi 002 audio interface.

  • Using Outboard Gear With M-Audio Fast Track Pro And Logic Express

    My Fast Track Pro has 2 insert jacks on the back where you can run a send and return to use outboard gear. The cable you use has 2 female 1/4" jacks (one is send and the other is return) that go to a 1/4" male jack that you plug into the back of the interface.
    My question is this:
    How can I get Logic Express to send a track through the outboard gear connected to my interface? On the track's output settings in Logic there are "Output 1+2", which run to my monitors I think, and "Output 3+4", which don't have anything plugged into them. There don't appear to be any other options for sending the track. How can I get Logic to recognize the Inserts jack on the Fast Track Pro? I'm running all the latest drivers if that means anything. Any help is much appreciated.

    Thanks for helping me on this. I'm still a bit confused on how to send the channel through the insert. The jacks on the back of my interface are "TRS Output 1+2" (my monitors are plugged into these outputs), a RCA "Output 1,2,3, and 4", an S/PDIF out and in, and then 2 TRS inserts jacks, marked 1 and 2. Each jack does it's own separate send and return which is why I had to buy the cable with the 2 female jacks on it.
    I've been able to use the I/O plugin and get the track to accept a signal from the insert on input 1 (I have a looping pedal running in the send chain and was able to get it to play a loop over top of the audio already recorded on the channel), but am unable to send the recorded track through the fx send. What would I need to set the output to to be able to do this? Thanks for your time.

  • 6sec latency when using rtmfp

    We are using FMS v4.0 and OS is Windows Server 2008.
    There was 6 seconds latency when using rtmfp, but the rtmp is no more than 1 second latency.
    6 sec is not acceptable to our customer.  They expect 2 sec - 4 sec.
    How can I reduce the latency?
    Thank you in advanced.

  • Occasional Latency when committing transactions using implicit transactions

    Hello,
    We have a server application that uses ODBC and ODP.NET. We’ve noticed an intermittent problem at runtime after we have called TrasactionScope.Complete().
    We perform the following steps:
    1) Call several stored procedures via ODP.NET. These are all nested within a single ‘using TransactionScope’ statement.
    For the purposes of this example the final stored procedure populates a table named ODPTestTable.
    2) Call Complete() on the TransactionScope object.
    3) Subsequently make a call to the ODPTestTable via a stored procedure using ODBC (on a different thread).
    We have an occasional problem where data that was inserted in the ODPTestTable in steps 1) and 2) does not appear in that table until after the ODBC call in step 3) has completed.
    We are using Oracle 10.2.0.4.0, Oracle.DataAccess.dll version 2.102.4.0.
    Is anybody aware of any latency problems with ODP.NET when using the TransactionScope.Complete() method?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks very much and best wishes,
    Louise.

    Hi Louise,
    TransactionScope gives you a distributed transaction with Oracle, even if that is not your intent - ie, even if there's only a single database/connection - since promoting a transaction from local to distributed is not currently supported. As such, this may be expected behavior. At least, a similar complaint was examined a while back in bug 1541648 (closed as "not a bug") and here's the resulting explanation:
    This maybe due to the way OLETx ITransaction::Commit() method behaves. After
    phase 1 of the 2PC (i.e. the prepare phase) if all is successful, commit can
    return even if the resource managers haven't actually committed. After all the
    successful "prepare" is a guarantee that the resource managers cannot
    arbitrarily abort after this point. Thus even though a resource manager
    couldn't commit because it didn't receive a "commit" notification from the
    MSDTC (due to say a communication failure), the component's commit request
    returns successfully. If you select rows from the table(s) immediately you may
    sometimes see the actual commit occur in the database after you have already
    executed your select. Your select will not therefore see the new rows due to
    consistent read semantics. There is nothing we can do about this in Oracle as
    the "commit success after successful phase 1" optimization is part of the
    MSDTC's implementation.
    ODP/ORAMTS does support promotable transactions with the current 11g beta provider, and your database needs to be 11g or higher for that to work.
    Hope it helps,
    Greg

  • Time Capsule high latency (ping) when using WDS

    Hi!
    I have this WDS configuration.
    An Airport Extreme 802.11g connected to my cable modem as WDS main
    A Time Capsule as WDS remote.
    Both are using channel 1 with WPA/WPA2 Personal.
    I can access the Internet. Printers and AirTunes work fine. But I have some high latency when pinging the ISP modem on 10.0.0.1 from any device connected through the Time Capsule.
    More specifically when I am connected to Airport Extreme 802.11g the ping looks fine: within 1-10 ms. Both if I am directly connected to the Extreme with a cable or wireless.
    BUT when I am on Time capsule (both wired or wireless) my latency time looks very awkward ranging from 1 to 1500 ms.

    All packets get there but they are terribly delayed causing bad communication while using Skype or SIP telephone from my laptop and imac when connected through the Time Machine.
    I have tried to change the multicast rate on both of them but with no success... still bad latency
    Do you have any suggestion?

    I have found the solution.
    I post it here so it might help someone.
    The issue is: even if you are in WDS don't use the WAN port in the Time Capsule.
    Leave that one empty and use the other 3 LAN ports... and it will make your Time Capsule work perfectly!
    The weird ping result in my previous msg were produced by a computer connected into the WAN port on my TM set into WDS. The port works and behave as a LAN port actually but it's not working properly. Avoid using it!

  • Proper routing of outboard gear

    External hardware compressor question.
    i have an issues with something that seems should be pretty straight forward to me.
    I just got a first outboard compressor. I worked for years now ITB using plugs and a few pre amps with my Fireface 800 interface.
    Well I got a overstayer stereo bus compressor, that was recommended to me.
    I also have a UA pre with a T4 optical compressor but I have used it only on the actual pre inputs and not using it's line in.
    OK So I got the compressor, hooked it up via Fireface 3/4 inputs and 3/4 outputs. (out of the comp to in of the ff and vice versa)
    I fired up Logic, took a overhead stereo track and sent it to bus 1.
    On bus one I inserted the I/O with 3/4 as inputs and 3/4 as outputs. So now, if I am understanding correctly Logic should be sending its out thru the FF to the compressor and back into the daw.
    Well, I hear the return sound, if I set the OH drum track to pre fader and turn it down, I hear that same signal. When I turn up the OH track, you can hear the two tracks sounding weird, either due to latency (thiner, slightly doubled sound). I imagine that this would have to be fixed with the sample delay control right with in the I/O plug in, I don't know how to do that but I will try to find it in the forums.
    My question actually has to do with the sound that I think is coming back from the compressor. I hear no compression, changing the input or output does not change the sound. I have worked with compression in the box long enough that I can hear it when it's subtle applied but this signal has none of it.
    SO what am I doing wrong? I know I am a noob when it comes to outboard gear but what else is there to do? Am I supposed to route something with in the environment, am I screwing up something with in the FF800 mixer, I really have no idea.
    Any insight would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    Instead of using a buss object (track)
    Do the following :
    Assign the output of the track to be compressed (mono?) to another output that is not your main 1-2.
    Example : MONO audio track.
    Route "Kick" track to outboard compressor, and back into Logic.
    Assign Kick track main output to output 3 (mono).
    Patch your output 3 from your interface to the input of your compressor.
    Patch the output of your compressor into Input 3 of your interface.
    Inside Logic, create a new MONO AUX track, and assign it's input as input 3.
    Now, play back the kick, and set your compressor the way you like it.
    The only issue you will have, is the roundtrip latency.
    So, once you have the kick sounding the way you like, you might want to create a new audio track, and record the signal into it, so you can then move it back to where it should be.
    "Logic don't do latency compensation for external hardware" and anyone else telling you otherwise is insane.
    Cheers

  • Midi Delay when Using Rewire?

    I am experiencing really bad midi delay when using
    LE7.1 & Reason 3.0 in Rewire mode.
    Should this be happenening? I take it that I am setup properly for rewire or I would not hear anything at all. I can trigger Reason synths via LE in rewire mode but the delay is so bad that it is unplayable.I thought "latency" issues only occured when using audio. I have tried different buffer sizes to no avail.
    Any ideas?

    ok I'll answer my own post.
    Issue was a toggle box in LE prefs to control "Rewire Behaviour". Set it to "Live mode" not "Playback" mode solves this issue.

  • Correct Settings for Latency When Recording Guitar Direct...with Duet?

    Could anyone tell me what the idea setup is for the lowest latency when recording guitar parts through an amp plug in when using Logic with a Duet? And also for just recording live acoustic (with no plug in, maybe a bit of echo)?
    Thanks

    Sorry, but leaving a one line post that says basically "Try it and find out" is probably not what most would feel was a helpful reply.
    And on the contrary, a lot of people use the Duet, use Logic, and are guitarists, so sharing what they've found successful is a reasonable expectation, I think.

  • Help on Logic 9 with outboard gear?

    I use logic pro 9 and although plugins are great i wanted to use my outboard compressors and eq's such as my avalon on audio and midi tracks ive already recorded. how do i go about routing my tracks to go out of my control surface into my outboard gear and back into logic?

    Route the aux busses to the other (non 1-2) outputs of your audio interface, which should either be
    patched into either channels on your mixing console (so that you can use the mixer's aux sends to address your FX hardware), or
    patched directly into the FX hardware's inputs.

  • Outboard gear and logic.

    I wanted to start using some out board gear for my mixes....mostly reverb effects, only thing is - if you were to try and do a bus method you would need an interface with a bus output (or some sort of send return routing options) right?
    It seems that most interfaces or controllers only have outputs. Long story short, I don't want to mix 100% in the box or 100% on some analog board, I want to be in-between these two things.
    I think digi design has a bunch of controller boards with these options, but it seems that logic doesn't support any controllers with a send return routing option (a bus out put on the back to be simple about it).
    Please share your knowledge relative to routing to outboard gear from Logic...but not just simple output input stuff.... I want to blend dry signal with wet signal.
    Sorry if I worded this in a confusing way? And thanks for any help.

    yea but if you make the output of a channel a send out, the only return you could get is a wet signal...no blend option.
    After thinking about it, it seems that you could duplicate a track and do what you mentioned and have one be dry and the other sending to outboard effects. The fader sending to the effect could be be similar to a buss send (on whatever channel it would return on). Not sure how that would sound.
    I think one could also buss the signal to an aux, have the output of that aux send to outboard gear and return on an additional aux...but at that point it seems pretty complex...one track, two aux's...there's got to be a better way.

  • Not green: No sleep when using integrated card reader and hub in Dell 2709

    Hello,
    here's a little weird sleep and wake-up problem with a Mac Mini.
    I hooked up a Mac Mini Mid 2010 model to a Dell 2709 monitor which has an integrated and self-powered card reader built in and this is connected by USB to the Mac. To the mac this appears correctly as a usb self-powered hub. I am using a so called master/slave power socket to put every periphal to sleep when the Mac enters sleep (stand by) mode. The Mac itself plugs into the Master socket and when turned on it also switches on the Slave sockets, and the monitor. Shutdwon and sleep turns the slaves off. This works good until the monitor USB hub is connected to the Mac. Then, when the Mac enters sleep state, it wakes itself up again within 1-2 seconds. The wake-up reason seems to be the USB hub from the monitor, because the hub looses power due to the master/slave power panel and disconnects from USB, which in turn wakes the Mac up again.
    Now, i got also a Bootcamp partition with Windows 7 installed on the same machine. To my surprise this works as expected. It enters sleep state (called StandBy Mode in Windows) without wakening up again immediately by itself. I assume the reason for this different behaviour is just the different approach from the two OS's. OS X wakes up even when disconnecting USB gear, but Windows does not.
    It took some hours to find out this. Apparently other users in this forum also have this problem in this particular scenario, like here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11031781&#11031781
    Unfortunately the topic is unanswered and archived.
    What would solve this problem is of course to change the power connection for the monitor in a way that the integrated USB stays powered. That would be pragmatic but not be "green".
    Another approach would be to change the behaviour of the Mac to not wake up when a USB device is disconnected - which makes no sense to me personally at all. I'm new to OS X and didn't found any command to achieve this.
    Would be nice to make real power saving working again.

    Hi David,
    thanks for your reply. You mentioned that the hub in the monitor is sending some sort of signal when powered down and this causes the wake up. Good idea. To inspect this i played around a bit with some other different USB gear on the same Mac.
    I discovered that any&every device that is disconnected by just unplugging it from the sleeping Mac Mini wakes the computer up again.
    This example from the kernel log shows a connected Canon ip4000 printer:

    OK, this device is also self-powered. But what about a thumb drive?
    The same can be reproduced with USB thumb drives (all other USB devices were unplugged before, the Mini was sent to sleep via the power button):

    So, either:
    - OS X or the Firmware can not distinguish between connect and disconnect and wakes up the computer at both events. The log above shows the opposite in the last line.
    or:
    - This behaviour is by design. (But makes no sense for non-block-level devices. Unplugging = Wake-Up?)
    or:
    - Something with EFI ?
    Now i am poking in the dark.
    The Unibody-Mini is really a light-sleeper...

  • Sy-tabix when using secondary key

    Hi,
    I have an internal table with records that contain a field with the line index of another table entry that they depend on.
    I can process this table recursively, by passing the parent index inside and using a
    LOOP AT ... USING KEY secondary_key WHERE index = iv_index.
    Unfortunately the sy-tabix is afterwards not correct, it contains the position in the secondary key probably instead the position in the internal table.
    Is there a way how I could find out the current table index, when using a secondary key to read a record?
    Regards,

    I rewrote it to include the row index also, not only the dependency.. was thinking too generic

  • Often lose wireless connection when using HDTV as monitor

    I have an unusual wireless networking problem when using my Samsung HDTV in my living room as a monitor for my MacBook (when watching Internet TV shows, for example). Frequently when I switch URLs, networking freezes, even though the connection appears strong, with the Airport symbol at the top of my screen showing all bars. To re-establish the wireless connection, I have to go through the process of re-joining my network through the “Join Other Network" option. The signal holds as long as I don’t try to change it, as in selecting another URL.
    I connect to my HDTV via HDMI cable, using a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter from my Macbook’s video-out port. The audio connection is a mini-plug from the Mac’s headphone out jack to stereo RCA plugs associated with the TV’s HDMI port.
    The wireless connection is through a Lynksys Wireless-G 2.4 Ghz, 54 Mpbs Broadband router.
    I’d appreciate any solutions the Apple user community has to offer.

    I'd say this has nothing to do with your display. The problem will likely lie in either your router settings, network settings or a simple signal strength issue. Try first changing the broadcast channel on your router, and make sure all settings are correct for your desired network.
