-StrictDelayCompensation

quote:

Live has a so called "playthrough optimization" which disables the plugin delay compensation for all tracks that are record-ready or have the "Monitor" switch set to "IN". The reason is that we assume that you want to play a software instrument (or resp. monitor an audio input) with the lowest possible latency. In other words, you will only get the latency of your audio interface + the latency of the actual plugin device instead of the overall latency of the entire project. We have a hidden option which can be enabled via the so called "Options.txt" file. This option will deactivate the playthrough optimization, so all tracks will be compensated regardless of their monitoring settings.

^ full list??

The thing I hate the most about my DAW is that it doesn't make the music for me

Sweet. Wasn't aware of this. Cheers for the heads up.

This, also that I suck at it. Stupid DAWs, how do they work?

back in logic 8, when you have automation data for a plugin, then move the plugin to a different position in the signal chain the automation data doesnt follow it. Instead there's just empty data leftover for slot x or whatever that doesn't do anything. Incredibly stupid and irritating. basically have to redo all automation data every time you want to reorder effects. Anyone know if they fixed this in logic 10?

Funny to read this old thread and see my answer from over 4 years ago with my grips about Cubase 5. I'm on Cubase 7.5 now, and thankfully both of those issues are long gone. I still wish Cubase handled automation as easily as Ableton does though. Other than that, I don't have many complaints about it.

Live's loading times, although im not sure how long projects take to open in other DAWs
i7 haswell, 16gb ram, SSDs......still takes a fucking age to open a set

also the shoddy timing with synths, doesnt look like that will ever be fixed either

How big are your projects evo? I don't think its too bad tbh. Other than synths I just use most of lives plugs apposed to 3rd party ones which may or may not help?

Also since ver9 I don't really suffer from bad timing issues either (just to rub it in )

Only one thing is pissing me off about any of my DAWs right now, and that's Avid's new subscription model for Pro Tools. They're not very forthcoming with any real information about how it's going to work, exactly what we can expect in terms of upgrades/updates, etc. It's not that I'm all that opposed to the plan, but they're doing a real shitty job of informing their existing users so far.

I know there aren't many PT users here, aside from me and Tom (RANN), but does anybody else feel the same way?

Well I only use PT when I have to for certain projects. I'm still working with PT10 and haven't needed or really wanted to upgrade to 11. Though the subsciption certainly appeals to me and seems the fees will be similar to Cycling's Max or Adobe's cloud subscriptions at $10 a month which is pretty reasonable imo. But it would certainly be nice to know.

Yeah, I'm in sorta the same boat. I have PT11, but I mostly use it for older projects and collabs. The annual fee for regular users is $199, but I've seen a few people mention a monthly "rental" option. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think that Avid has actually said for sure if there will be a monthly option???

none bigger than 800kb in size.

are you using external hardware?

All depends on # of tracks + types of instruments + external wav files you are using in your project - for my 50+ track it usually takes around 1 min+ (no SSD).

hey I think the slow startup can be attributed to live loading your projects into RAM. If you have a bunch of instances of simpler all those samples get loaded into RAM automatically, with Sampler you get the choice of either RAM or to read from the harddrive, which if youve got an SSD theres no reason not to go that route. Not sure if that helps any. The project file size wont really be an indicator of anything since its just pointing to resources on the harddrive

I'm guessing they'll implement a monthly option, well really it's only in their best interests because $199 for 12 months is a bit ridiculous. I wouldn't bother with that.

Yeah sorry I meant as in track count / amount of plugs etc..

Only hardware I have is my virus, it usually takes about 10 seconds or so to initialise when you first open up the vst plug.

My latest wip that I posted is currently up to 41 channels and I've just timed that at 17 seconds to open which I don't think is bad at all. Like I said, with the exception of a couple of plugins, I mainly just use abletons so maybe that makes a difference?

@ all - just first world problems, i want Live to load inside 1 second

Then we need to talk to Bill Gates about it

Bitwig - multi monitor display profiles only go so far when the clip launcher window can only display either the browser or the inspector at the same time.
