Low latency mode: what's the sense?

I've read it bypasses plug ins which causes latency. But if it is so what'is the sense of this function? If I understand well in this mode I don't know exactly which plug in will work and which no....
I cannot accept a situation like this.
Apart from anything else I did use low latency mode (because I listened some latency after having inserted a plug) and I checked all the plugs during playback and they all seem to work. So?
I don't understand...

Usually I use Low Latency mode in when mixing-mastering.
I use UAD DSP plugins on the master... this is cause of many issue... the MAIN problem is that Logic is able to compensate Plugin Audio Latency (PDC)... but not Graphics .. (GPDC is not available... instead Logic 7... Logic 7 have GPDC!!! ... in Logic 8 graphical plugin delay compensation is a missing features)
the resulting behavior is that All meters show anticipate by the sound...
but this is not fixable.. or better.. Apple developers must included the Graphic delay compensation in order to get metering in sync with Audio... (I hope in the 8.1 version)
Anyway.. i love UAD sound and I use them in any case..
return back to your question, I use Low Latency mode when i need to record some missing details .. without get DSP latency!
It is a helpful features (not so basical but helpfull).
Logic Pro 7 is also a great DAW!

  • Low latency mode didn't bypass latent plugins, or turn them orange

    in our case it was waves' bass rider plugin.  we had low latency mode enabled, the plugin was bypassed even, and still it caused the entire output to be latent.
    i was under the impression that low latency mode was supposed to bypass these things and turn them orange right?
    our latency limit was set to zero as well.
    ideas?

    There are so many factors that affect latencey and if you're making your living or it''s really important, I'd roll up my sleeves and tackle this puppy head on.  Do you have a really high track count?  Are you running a lot of plug ins?  What is the disk buffer size set to? What do you have the processing threads set to?  How much RAM do you have? Are you using an external drive that's fighting to keep up? What sample rate are you running at........
    I think you see where I'm going with this!  It's a slippery slope my friend but nothing you can't figure out.  It really all depends on understanding what you have and how best to optimize it for what you want to do.  That's why a lot of the help forums can be so confusing because there isn't a simple answer that works for everyone.
    In the meantime, if you really wanna just get to the business of making music try monitoring through your desk when you're tracking and only use the plugins for playback (disable software monitoring, but only if you have the hardware that will enable you to do so).
    Good luck!

  • Low latency mode

    Hi,
    I'm doing vocal recording now,facing latency problem.Finally i'm trying to apply the LOW LATENCY MODE ,it really solve the latency when press the Rec Enable button...but howevery i try to route with Aux or Bus(Vocalist required some reverbs while singing)...it doesn't work..and level meter didn't show any input signal on the Aux or Bus!!!
    and when i apply the Low Latency from the Vocal track Send button...level meter become active on Aux or Bus but the LATENCY appear again even the Low Latency Mode i still ON it.
    What's my problem here...
    Urgent!!!!Thanks for helps...

    the better setting in recording (with Motu device) is:
    Don't use "low latency mode" (it is a logic 8 feuatures but it is not so useful)
    Sample buffer set to 256k
    PDC set to Software and Instruments (avoid to use Aux or Multi instruments mode)
    Reverbs and delay can be used on the Buss because latency on reverbs gives you a good predelay effect... (when PDC is set to All, usually, I use sample delay in reverber Buss in order to be able to have the same great reverbs sonds )
    ... PDC set to ALL gives you a lot of latency...
    if you use Multi Instruments.. the better way is: (I never use Multi out instrument... i prefer to export as audio the parts!
    Bounce the instrumental parts...
    open a new project, import the instrumental parts... set PCD to "Track and Instrument)
    When Mixing .. mastering PDC must be set to ALL...
    in every other situation (expecially in recording phase) "track and instruments" PDC setting is the better choice!

  • Low latency mode doesn t work?

    If I enable "Low latency Mode" nothing happens, Ioaded tons of Plugins and set the limit to 1 ms....Shouldnt it bypass some plugins? Someone who knows the problem

    does it work for you?

  • Can't send to bus when in low latency mode?

    My colleague and I have almost the same setup, except he is running OS X 10.8.5, and I'm running OS X 10.9.4, Both are running Logic X 10.0.7. He has Apogee hardware (Symphony 64 card to DA16X/AD16X), and I have a UA Apollo.
    For some reason, this works on my setup, but not on his:
    Set up a bus send on any audio or VI channel, and assign the output of that channel to outputs 3-4 (outputs 1-2 are both of our main outs). The purpose of this is to send to a cue/headphone box.
    Set latency compensation to Instruments and Tracks (not ALL, setting it to ALL defeats this)
    Turn on low-latency mode.
    Turn on Software Monitoring (buffer is set to 64)
    Record enable that track.
    On my setup, I get signal on channels 3-4, on his, no signal as soon as record is enabled
    Auto-input monitoring is off in both cases.
    On my setup, the bus popup turns orange, but I still hear the signal, on his, it turns orange, but no signal.
    All plugins removed on the track and the bus.
    Weird.

    Bus Send is set the same on both systems, Post Pan,  Post Fader,   Pre Fader ?
    Good point, I'll check that
    Bus is set to output on 3-4 ?
    Yes, on both systems
    Bus level is the same ?
    Yes, similar anyway
    Sure you friend doesn't have any plugins on the master output bus  ?
    I didn't consider that - somehow didn't think that plugins on the master bus (which is outputting on 1-2) could effect a different bus. Will check that tomorrow.
    Do you by any chance have direct monitoring enabled on the Apollo, any input signal will be heard.
    I do use direct monitoring on the Apollo, but that is not a factor - it's prerecorded material we are trying to monitor, not input signal.
    Curious as to why are you running in Low Latency mode, it is for a specific purpose not something to be used in general recording/work.
    He is running on an older Mac tower and uses a lot of plugins and prefers software monitoring, and finds that he has problems unless he enables low latency mode. I usually leave it off, I just wanted to see if the issue was present on my system as well, and it's not.
    Thanks, will report back.

  • What's the sense of "NOT" in the BEx-Analyzer selection-screen?

    Hi specialists,
    the selection-screen Queries in the BEx-Anlyzer presents the following selection-options:
    "="
    "<="
    ">"
    ">="
    "<"
    as well as their inverses:
    "not"
    "not ="
    "not <="
    "not >"
    "not >="
    "not <"
    "not []"
    "not *"
    While most of this options are redundant (because "not <=" is the same as ">") I absolutely cannot find any case where the above maked "not" makes any sense.
    In other words: Could somebody please gimme a hint what's the difference between "not" and "not =".

    Hi Stefan,
    I'm not sure weather we are talking about the same thing.
    When I use the the "more"-button (multselection-screen) of the selelection-screen, then I can comprehend your eplaination: The tab's are "and" connected - while the rows within a tab are "or" connected.
    But without the multiselection-dialog, there's still the option "not" in the drop-down list left to the value-field on the selection-screen. But I can't see any possibilty to filter the same variable multiple times here. So the example you mentioned doesn't fit here.
    Perhaps in some different way:
    If I choose "NOT" for the salesorg-variable, without providing a value followed by [enter]/check, then the "not" option is changed to "".
    If I choose "NOT" for the salesorg-variable, providing a value followed by [enter]/check, then the "not" option is changed to "=".
    In which case does the "not"-option "survive" the check without beeing corrected to any other option?
    (btw: I miss a possibilty for attaching images in the sdn-forum! - That would make some explainations much easier)

  • New router extremely low connection.. what is the cause?

    Hello there,
    I bought a Linksys WRT310N router together with an Wireless USB WUSB600N.. but my connection seems to be low all the time!
    When im talking about low, it's just 1 stripe and just 86 mbps (even my junk 35 euro sitecom router with usb seemed to do better). There isn't alot of interferrence, except for a thin wall, but it seemed other wireless connections worked extremelty well in the past here (5 stripes) so I am pretty frightened.
    My specifications are:
    - Windows vista 32 bit
    - Router Firmwareversion: 2.00.00 B0 and also the usb firmware up to date.
    - Internet is connected like this: DSL -> Speedtouch -> Linksys
    I have no idea what could be the problem.. any suggestions?

    Here are some settings which you can try to change on your Router and i think that would improve the wireless signal strength on your computer.
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...
    Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
    Click on the Wireless tab
    - Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
    - Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
    Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
    For Wireless Security : -
    Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
    Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select TKIP...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
    NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
    Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
    Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

  • H264 Decoder buffering 8 frames even in low latency mode

    Hi,
    I am trying to do hardware video decode in my application. It does H264 decoding using IMFTransform::ProcessInput and IMFTransform::ProcessOutput API. I set CODECAPI_AVLowLatencyMode to avoid any kind of buffering. The app works, however, I see that
    ProcessOutput keeps returning MF_E_TRANSFORM_NEED_MORE_INPUT for the first 8 frames. Only after 8 frames are sent, I get a success and I get decoded output. My decode latency is still high since I am receiving an output 8 frames late.
    Any ideas on how to solve this issue?

    Ping..
    Any help in this regards is highly appreciated.

  • Mac Mini stutters in Airplay mode. what is the problem?

    My friend have a Mac mini. It is about 2 years old. When he is streaming video airplay to apple tv, it just works perfectly. But as soon as audio is being streamed, it works terribly.. It stutters, and does not run optimal. iTunes is updated, and it's not his computer who is too slow, as it has also been upgraded. Does anyone have an idea what it might be?
    Thanks

  • Oracle KM DB mode what is the size limit

    Hello,
    Our organization is implementing the KM and some questions arise about the size limit of the oracle database supported by the KM if we are using the full DB mode. Maybe somebody has got some benchmarks he wants to share ?
    Many thanks by advance
    Frédéric

    Hello Venkat,
    Thank you for your reply, it gives me valuable information. I have still one concern, indeed if I read this chapter I can imaging that the size of the DB can be theoretically very large. In a practical way have you some examples of very large internal repositories where performances are still OK ?
    Many thanks
    Best regards

  • When importing photos, iPhoto now says that the disk containing my iPhoto library is running low on space. what is the best thing to do?

    is it best to purchase external hardrive to store my photos?
    will this let them be viewed in iphoto?
    please advise. i do not want to remove my images.

    You don't have a choice and you're in a very dangerous situation.
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    To move an iPhoto Library:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    And don't forget you'll need another disk for backing up.

  • What is the sense of lock(entity,LockModeType.READ/WRITE) ??

    Hi,
    I think, I hope, for some it is a simple question.
    e.g:
    Why using lock(someEntity, LockModeType.WRITE) on versioned someEntity since every such entity is insured by implementation to met requirements of LockModetype.WRITE ? ( as it is written in JPA spec) .
    Thx for answers.

    By default a secure dimension is providing just access (READ).
    Button R/W is providing the option to use that dimension also to control write access of users.
    For example:
    You will have Category secure dimension with RW.
    You can have an user able to see data from Actual and to write data into Actual (input data) but he wil have just read access for Budget. That's means he will be able to see Budget data but he will not be able to input(change) data into Budget.
    I hope this will help to understand when you have to use R/W button.
    (When you want users to see data but you don't want to have some users changing data).

  • Low latency mem sticks

    I have a msi 865PE neo2 mobo and an ati radeon 700 graphics card. I am looking at a matched set of corsair pc3200 low latency sticks. my question is  will these work better in my mobo because they are low latency or what is the dealio?

    I use 1G of twinx 3200LL with the timings of 2-3-2-5 and it is very stable so far.  I hear the 875 chipset has a problem with ras to cas of 2 so you have to leave that at 3.  I have even overclocked my system to 217fsb with these aggressive timings with no problem.  Now that the problems with memory have mainly been worked out, the system flies.  With the above settings I get around 5100 in sandra.

  • My iphone 4s suddenly displays images from Yahoo, Google, and Flickr at low resolution. The camera on my phone works fine, but any web related photo content is now pixelated and low res, what's the deal?

    My iphone 4s suddenly displays images from Yahoo, Google, and Flickr at a low resolution. I have IOS 7.0.4. My phone camera works fine, but any web based photo content from Safari, Yahoo images, Google images, and Flickr all come in pixelated and low res. What's the deal?

    It happened to me but later I figured out that cellular signal was not that great and so the Internet was very slow. It took me about 2 minutes to get the full resolution picuture on either of the app you've described. Try to get faster internet either by wifi or good signal and then check.

  • When I press 'Low Latency' button I only have audio coming through left channel ?!

    When I press 'Low Latency' button I only have audio coming through left channel  !?
    When you take it off 'Low Latency' mode the audio is fine and comes out Right and Left speaker.
    Can anyone please advise why this happening and how I can fix it ?

    I think Pancenter is trying to get you to read and understand the "Working in Low Latency" section of the manual as the results or problems with working in Low Latency mode are variable.
    This section, for instance:
    Note: The sound may change in Low Latency mode. Depending on the plug-ins in use, the changes can be anything from subtle to dramatic. If plug-ins being used do not exceed the total latency limit, there will be no audible difference.
    If it was me posting about this issue I would now come back with what exactly is inserted/bussed on the tracks because it could be an accumulative problem based on what plug-ins you have active and if they are on audio tracks (stereo or mono), instrument tracks etc. Lots of variables. The section of the manual quoted above won't give specific instances as any user could be using any combination of any amount of plug-ins.
    So more information is needed before anyone can help you any further.
