Henry No worries, ask away. Try this and let me know if it solves the problem … if you’re recording say a simple kick loop (use a kick or something with a transient that hits on beat), record 5 bars and delete the first one, see if it lines up.

There’s usually a delay on the first note and it sorts itself out after that; by deleting the first bar and shifting the loop over, you should get it in time. I’m not sure I’ve ever had to warp anything specifically due to latency.

    It’s not only the first beat that’s off, as the rest are delayed by about 29ms.
    I have found a post which comes close to fixing it by turning off the sync function in Overbridge and a few other tweaks. But the first beat is off as you say. I think it will just be as easy to delete the first 29ms on every bit of audio I record into Ableton (wouldn’t have to re-warp after all).
    Dunno if this is fixed in Overbridge 2.5.4? I had to run an earlier version due to crackling when playing the ST.

    I’m not totally sure, I’ve never really had crazy latency issues. Sometimes if it’s out a bit, I just nudge the loop start point in ableton until the groove sounds right.

    No probs. Will learn to live with it and stop moaning about it not being perfect!

      Henry I’m always moving everything off grid anyways, I just consider it part of the process and it doesn’t bother me too much. As long as the kick is on grid, the rest of it is just taste.

        Unbroken1 Just bought it in the sale. It can get far too busy. Only got it today but can see the value in recording the midi and taking it apart to use short phrases etc.

          Downloaded the morph demo, tried it for half an hour, bought it. Either I’m exceptionally weak or this thing is amazing for sound design.

            Lol and probably are in this case.

            Fook.. I bought ShaperBox 3 at €89 .. it’s just too good.

            Shaperbox does look pretty useful to be fair. I’ve managed to avoid picking up that or arturia’s efx motions for now, although I’m sure that’ll change at some point.

              303abuser And it’s a real breeze to use as well. Makes sound shaping that much more fun. I can think of only a few tools in my toolbox that have that kind of ease to work with so that you can not help making fun presets (Vital being one of them).

                Immediate creative tools are all I’m interested in now. That’s what I got out of morph when I tried the demo.

                I’ve got triad and byome from unfiltered audio and while different, they’re in the same category as shaperbox. I’ve got so many plugins, it’s more about keeping myself interested and inspired than any real need.

                Just bought myself a UAD Apollo x6 audio interface. Needed a 5m thunderbolt cable to go with it - 60 quid! 😮

                Was going to ask the producer-types in here if there are any good resources for spoken word vocal stuff?

                Trying to find something to help kick off a collab mix and struggling badly!
