>From: "Jack Heitzer" <jheitzer@...> >Can someone advise me what to do to set the recording delay and playback delay for MME drivers. >I thought I sorted it out but when recording yesterday I had great problems with overdubs >because audio didn't sound where it was played. Emagics Sascha Kujawa once posted his method to adjust it, here it is: 1. make a MIDI Sequence with a click sound at e.g. bar 4 2. record the audible result via audio 2a. double click for sample editor and ckech the distance of the first signal appearance to bar 4 to get the recording delay. E.g. if the signal is 400 samples too late, set RecDelay to -9 (ms). 3. place the anchor at the start point of your audio to place it manually at bar 4 4. pan you audio to hard left and MIDI to hard right 5. play back and record both onto a new track 5a. double click for SampleEdit and check the distance between both signals to get the PlayDelay. E.g. if the the re-recorded audio is 200 samples too early, enter (+) 5 (ms) at PlayDelay. That's all and takes only 1 or 2 minutes... Some people dont like this, because I am "compensating" the "MIDI delay" (maybe 1 or 3 seconds), but I think it's a real life measurement... ----------------------------------- He also answered another question that might come up: >How do you obtain the value in ms from the number of samples??? >200 samples late = +5ms -> 40 ?????? >400 samples early = -9ms -> 44.4444444 ????? Assuming you are running SampleRate 44.1k means there are 44100 samples per second, means 44.1 per millisecond... -------------------------------------------- Sascha (non-Kujawa)
