Ableton recording changes when monitoring is on.

[punkdISCO]

..pressed send by accident :|

..saying this, I gave up on trying to record auto-lined up many years ago in Live.  I did the tutorials etc but could never fathom it out so resorted to manually realigning after recording..

Time to give it another go..

Morning all

This is strange and not something I've noticed.

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...

"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.
