Recording Delay Problems with Scarlett 8i6

When recording through a Focusrite Scarlett 8i6, everything sounds normal but on playback, the recorded audio lags behind by about a half beat.
Focusrite says it's an Apple problem. Apple says it's a Focusrite problem and offer nothing beyond that.
After several reboots and disconnecting/reconnecting the interface, the problem seems to have self-corrected but my confidence is not high.
Is there a more concrete and permanent fix for this issue?
Thanks

OK, maybe this is something... I shut everything down last night, then started it all up again later.
The delay came back... and it's a pretty major delay. Tried again this morning and I still have the same problem.
So, I tried disconnecting the 8i6, started Logic but did not open a project. Then I plugged in the Scarlett and opened a project. Tried a loopback recording and it looks OK. I'll need to try it a few more times to see if it's repeatable but, even if it is, it seems like something is pretty sloppy about all of this. More as it develops

Additional record time problem with series

I cannot record a particular show appearing on a local PBS station beyond the time the show is on. The show is EastEnders & it comes on every Sunday night. There are 2 different episodes, one starts at 11pm & ends at 11:30, the 2nd show starts at 11:30 PM & ends at midnight. There are no episode titles, It appears simply as EastEnders for both time slots in the program guide
When I set up the series recording on my FiOS DVR, I set it to record a specified length of time after the show ends, so I don't miss any of it in case the show runs long. The problem is that although I have set it up correctly, the DVR will not record for any length of time after the 2nd show ends. I have tried setting it to record 15, 30, 60 & 90 minutes after the show ends & it always stops recording just at the point the 2nd show ends. I know it is not the actual DVR at fault as I tried this on both of my DVRs & the same thing happened. Also, this is the only show that I have a problem with. Other shows that I have set up to record longer, do so without a problem.
I have spoken to FiOS tech support several times about this issue & can't resolve it. They said they get calls from customers with issues like mine from time to time, but don't know what the problem is.
Could this have something to do with the way the PBS station communicates it's program guide to Verizon? If so, what exactly is the issue? Is there a fix?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try making a manual recording. You can specify the start time, end time, and recurrence on a specified day of the week. That should eliminate any issues the guide may be causing. You can't attach the show's name so it will show up in your list of recordings as a manual recording.

Archive Purchase Info Record MM_EINA : problem with CDHDR

Hello,
I have notice that when i archive an Info Record, Only CDPOS is deleted and not CDHDR.
In the customizing, Object Class CHANGEDOCU is set.
Can someone explain why datas in CDHDR are not deleted ?
Thank you,
Cipriano

Yes, I agree with Jurgen. You should open a message with SAP. As, the CDHDR records should be archived along with the CDPOS records. That is how it works when I archive purchase info records with MM_EINA.

Recording level problems with Tascam US-144MKII

I have used my Tascam US-144MKII to record with Garageband multiple times, but now the recording slider is completely greyed out. I'm getting signal, but no recorded sound...anyone know how to fix this??? I've been searching everything...

You're right. It wasn't recommended. I should've said it is supported.

Anyone with any suggestions, I'd still love some insight into this.

Delay-problems with Tektronix TDS 2014

We have downloaded the drivers for Tektronix TDS 2014 and connected the oscilloscope with a signal generator. We are using 5 or 6 different vi's, but the "Read Waveform To Array.vi" and "Read Waveform to File.vi" is using more than 6 or 7 seconds. The other vi's are quite fast. What could be the reason for this delay? We need our program to respond a lot faster than this, so we hope someone can help us! Thank you in advance!

Some of the time spent would certainly depend on the size of the waveform you're transfering and to some extent on the actual gpib board you're using (older and cheaper gpib boards have a slower transfer rate). The VI is also doing a few other things besides just the waveform transfer. It is requesting the waveform preamble each time and you might want to try skipping that and just issuing the CURVE? command to see how long it takes just for the waveform transfer itself.

A record selection problem with a string field when UNICODE database

We used report files made by Crystal Reports 9 which access string fields
(char / varchar2 type) of NON-UNICODE database tables.
Now, our new product needs to deal with UNICODE database, therefore,
we created another database schema changing table definition as below.
(The table name and column name are not changed.)
    char type -> nchar type
    varchar2 type -> nvarchar2 type
When we tried to access the above table, and output a report,
the SQL statement created from the report seemed to be wrong.
We confirmed the SQL statement using Oracle trace function.
    SELECT (abbr.) WHERE "XXXVIEW"."YYY"='123'.
We think the above '123' should be N'123' because UNICODE string
is stored in nchar / nvarchar2 type field.
Question:
How can we obtain the correct SQL statement in this case?
Is there any option setting?
FYI:
The environment are as follows.
    Oracle version: 11.2.0
    ODBC version: 11.2.0.1
    National character set: AL16UTF16

With further investigating, we found patterns that worked well.
Worked well patters:
    Oracle version: 11.2.0
    ODBC version: 11.2.0.1
    National character set: AL16UTF16
    Report file made by Crystal Reports 2011
    Crystal Reports XI
Not worked patters:
    Oracle version: 11.2.0 (same above)
    ODBC version: 11.2.0.1 (same above)
    National character set: AL16UTF16 (same above)
    Report file made by Crystal Reports 2011 (same above)
    Crystal Reports 2008 / 2011
We think this phenomenon is degraded behavior of Crystal Reports 2008 / 2011.
But we have to use the not worked patters.
Anything wrong with us? Pls help.

Allow Tool Recording Action Problem with Pen Tool -PS6 beta

Hi,
I’m trying to create an action that will erase a shape layer box that I am using for a registration point.
I have “allow tool recording” on
I select the shape layer in the layer palette
Use the direct selection tool to marquee the box on the shape layer I want to erase
Use the pen tool to delete each anchor point
I do erase the box but when I play back the recorded action,
It will marquee and select the 4 box anchor points and even though the action dialog box says
“Use delete anchor point”
nothing happens.
Any ideas? Thanks.

The path selection tool selects the entire shape layer and won't delete it, I only want to select and delete a small portion of the shape layer. Thanks for trying.

A Problem With Recording: Delay Between Tra

I recently purchased an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro to replace my ailing Audigy 2 Platinum from a few years back. I've been trying to do some home recording (namely with Sony's Acid Pro 5.0) and I've been noticing some delay between tracks when I record.
For example, I will record one track, and then record a second track, playing along to exactally what I hear. When the second track mixes down, there is an offset between the two tracks on the order of two or three tenths of a second. This offset produces a noticible doubling effect, and requires me to go in and move the audio track around so that it plays properly.
I've tried other programs (Audacity and n-Tracks Studio) so I figure it's not something wrong with the program. My computer is new, it's running an Athlon 64 3400+, with over a gig of ram, so I can't imagine it's a problem with my computer.
Anybody have any thoughts or experience with problems like this?

Latency issue.
If you can select ASIO drivers (audio settings) on your software then use it and set latency on ASIO panel to ~ 5 ms.

Mapping problem with compressed key update record

Hi, could you please advise?
I'm getting the following problem:
About a week ago replicat abened with "Error in mapping" error. I found in discard file some record looking like:
filed1 = NULL
field2 =
field3 =
field4 =
field5 =
datefield = -04-09 00:00:00
field6 =
field8 =
field9 = NULL
field10 =
Where filed9 = @GETENV("GGHEADER", "COMMITTIMESTAM"), field10 = = @GETENV("GGHEADER", "COMMITTIMESTAM"), others are table fields mapped by USEDEFAULTS
So I got Mapping problem with compressed key update record at 2012-06-01 15:44
I guess I need to mention that extract failed in 5 minuts before it with: VAM function VAMRead returned unexpected result: error 600 - VAM Client Report <[CFileInfo::Read] Timeout expired after 10 retries with 1000 ms delay, waiting to read transaction log or backup files. To increase the number of retries, use SETENV (GGS_CacheRetryCount = n) in Extract parameter file. To control retry delay time, use SETENV (GGS_CacheRetryDelay = n). handle: 0000000000000398 ReadFile GetLastError:997 Wait GetLastError:997>.
I don't know if it has ther same source as data corruption, could you tell me if it is?
Well, I created new extract, starting 2012-06-01 15:30 to check if there was something with extract at the time, but got the same error.
If I run extract beging at 15:52 it starts and works.
But well, I got another one today. Data didn't look that bad, but yet one column came with null value:( And I'm using it as a key column, so I got Mapping problem with compressed key update record again:(
I'm replicating from SQL Server 2008 to Oracle 11g.
I'm actually using NOCOMPRESSUPDATES in Extract.
CDC is enabled for all tables replicated. The only thing is that it is enabled not by ADD TRANDATA command, but by SQL Server sys.sp_cdc_enable_table, does it matter?
Could you please advise why does it happen?

Well, the problem begins somewhere in extract or before extract, may be in transaction log, I don't know:(

How to fix the delay problem while recording? Can't set the Latency to 0. Win7, CS6,Realtek,C03u Mic

I am using Win7, with CS6, Realtek soundcard and Samson C03U microphone.
There is a problem that's really been bothering me. When I record songs the recorded audio always comes 0.1 seconds after where it's supposed to be and I need to fix the problem every time. How to fix the delay problem while recording? I can't set the Latency to zero. The minimum is 30ms and I still get an obvious delay.
I saw some previous discussions saying that installing ASIO would help. Is it gonna work on my PC?
Thank you in advance guys.

You probably should look at a more 'serious' audio interface rather than the Realtek
Yes ASIO drivers are the way to go
If you want zero latency you need to monitor via your audio hardware (hence the 'serious' audio interface suggestion)
There are a heap of reasonable audio interfaces which will do the job for you that are pretty inexpensive and I'm sure that someone will jump in with a suggestion

Recording problem with SoundBlaster X

Hello everyone,
I am running a X-FI sound card which is on my motherboard (MSI P6N Platinium).
I always had MSI boards with integrated soundblaster cards, and I used to plug my guitar directly in the microphone input and record.
Since I got this new board with the X-FI card, I have latency when I play my guitar. The sound has around half a second delay before it gets to the speakers.
I never had such a problem with my other motherboards/soundblasters.
I tried with the front panel mic, and also with the back panel one. The problem with the back panel is that when I plug my guitar in, it doesn't allow me to output to the normal 5. speakers, I have just the option to should Digital output...
Does anyone have an idea on something I should look for in the setup?
I am running a:
Intel Dual Core 6600
MSI P6N Platinium with integrated SoundBlaster X-FI Xtreme Audio
2GB Geil sync RAM
Nvidia 8800GTX 768Mb Video Ram
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

Hmm.. IIRC, X-Fi Xtreme Audio?doesn't have nati've ASIO?drivers so, if you like to?use lower latency (less delayed), you'll need to either?- install asio4all dri've and use asio compatible software for to input the signal?or?- use WDM/KS capable software for to input the signal?ASIO4ALL driver http://www.asio4all.com?ASIO capable Host? software:VSTHost - http://www.hermannseib.com/english/default.htm?(you need to add least one effect plugin to get signal out ... effevts can be found from KVR http://www.kvraudio.com/get.php)?Reaper?- http://www.cockos.com/reaper/?(support for WDM/KS and ASIO, use WDM/KS with settings 4 buffers x?256 - 52 samples)?jutapa

Delay/Latency problem with POD XTL?

Hello all, does Logic Pro 7 has the same latency issue when using with POD XTL? I have been trying to use POD XTL with GarageBand through the USB port but whenever i record, the recorded clips will always be a few milliseconds behind. I know that I can work my way around by using audio-in, but was also wondering if Logic Pro 7 has the similar problem with the USB connection as I would like to stick with digital recording. Thanks for your help.

I had the same trouble with my xtlive with usb so now I record it by connecting it to my motu828 interface the old way. I can monitor the recording without any delay this way as well.

Problem with sound delay from mic to speakers with quickplay on HP Pavilion dv5-1145ev

I have an HP Pavilion dv5-1145 ev. When I try to use karaoke with HP's quickplay there is a significant sound delay from the microphone to the speakers. I also noticed the same delay, even when I am recording my voice with other programs such as audacity. There is a voice delay too. I have windows vista and I have tried to change the settings of the sound from control panel, without any luck. Any suggestions please?

I have an HP Presario CQ61 that I bought to record my own music in tracks and it's useless to me because I have about a second delay from the mic to my recording program and headphones. You would think that with all the brainy knowlage Bill Gates and the computer industry has someone can come up with a downloadable fix for this problem. If I knew I would have this problem before I bought the thing I wouldn't have wasted my money. If anyone finds a fix for this please let me know.

I have problem with delay in serial port

I have problem with serial port. I have connected two computers by serial port and I need to create program in Labview for transfer strings using start bits and stop bits. My problem is that my program is working quite well ...when I press start bit it starts to concatenate strings and if i press stop bits it stops...this is the purpose of this program...but problem is that it working only with delay...and need that this program dont need delay, because it can only concatenating data depends on delay from start bit....I wana solved problem with delay...I dont want using delay process in my program, but allways when I try to delete this delay it stop works correct
here is my program

Ok this should be simple - if I understand you correctly.
You have the VISA session initialized with read termination character enabled. So reading the number of bytes at port is NOT the correct way to read from the port. Set the read number of bytes to something large (say 4096) and the read will return as soon as a termination character is received (or timeout).
You'll need to make sure the sending device is configured to send termination character on writes (you can set that with a VISA property node) and that you are sending the correct termination character. The default is 0x0A (newline).
