PSA: Ableton recording changes when monitoring is on.

[Nigel Kersten]

I've been trying to understand why I get this weird lag in recording
external gear back into Live that's being triggered by a MIDI start in
Live, and finally found a forum post describing the problem.

I don't think this is in the manual...

https://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?p=1507635#p1507635

"Ableton records midi and audio differently depending on whether you choose
monitoring "OFF" or "IN"/"AUTO" If set to "off" it will recording, it
shifts events early according to buffer size latency because it assumes you
are monitoring directly with no delay (like asio direct monitoring)"


Thanks 0x80 from the Ableton forums... I'm basically going to stop
monitoring in Live, flip my Scarlett interface to Playback only, and do all
my monitoring via Alt 3/4 on the Mackie.
