Plot down the results on a piece of paper or in notepad. Run some scientific tests by exporting projects with a known reference ( see below). Some people are still using 4.5.3 due to issues with 4.6.xx and so on, but I upgraded to 5.0.4.02 and haven't looked back!ĥ. I haven't found any bugs with version 5.0.4.02. This prevents any connection issues when USB is running in high speed mode.Ĥ. Gold plated conntectors if possible, or just ones that won't tarnish over time. I have tested it in different USB 3.0 ports on different systems with the same result It doesn't like it. I would advise NOT to buy a USB 3.0 card for the Virus TI. Invest in a dedicated USB 2.0 PCI or PCI-e controller card ONLY for the Virus TI with nothing else plugged into it. You can keep Hyperthreading and all cores active, though.Ģ. DISABLE all of the CPU power saving states (C1, C3, and all of that.) DISABLE CPU throttling, TurboBoost® and all of that fancy Jazz. You can use the Virus Control plugin as long as you do these things:ġ. The 'LIVE' button is to reduce the delay so you can play the Virus TI with less latency, but this suppresses the delay compensation when using the Virus Control plugin and will make it go out of time when playing back a project. Thought I'd post some random information that's helped me solve my latency issues in the past. Lets say I want to use the analogue out (which is MIDI out I suppose?) Can I still use the GUI? will this solve the problem? thanks for bearing with me, kinda confused here hehe.

When I press 'redirect', no sound is heared at all. What should I do then?Īnd what should I do when I play the notes that are triggered by my midi controller (piano) ? Lets say I draw in notes by clicking inside of Ableton Live 9. Which I want!ĭo I press the 'LIVE' button to keep it in sync? In some combinations of the above options you will have to nudge one type of MIDI clips. Whether you are playing and recording a MIDI controller, or drawing notes. Live's delay compensation option on/off from the Options menu. You can select an output for each part using either the 'direct' button on the left side, or the common page. The return audio to the plugin plays with delay, and using the 'live' button (bottom left) you can decide if you want long or short delay. If you insist on using VC (the GUI) you have to go around the delay compensation. OF course, in option 3 you still need your soundcard in order to hear the final mix, but you don't need it for interfacing with the Virus.

DAW-s make up for that by using delay compensation, but not all DAW-s implement delay compensation the same way. This is not an unusual thing - many plugins that look ahead as they process (such as some compressors) have delay as well. The need to buffer the audio coming back over USB after processing, causes VC to have delay. Once you load VC, the Virus is regarded by the DAW as a soft synth that sends its audio processing to a different processing unit than the computer's CPU. Option (3) is quite different in the sense that it doesn't deal with ports at all. So you can (1) use the Virus like traditional analog equipment, connect its MIDI and audio ports to your soundcard and create tracks for the soundcard ports you used (audio and MIDI), or (2) use MIDI over USB instead of the MIDI cables, so in Live you create a track for the Virus synth ports instead of your soundcard's MIDI ports, but the audio is transmitted the same way as before. MIDI can be sent between the Virus and the computer using the traditional MIDI cables or USB, and in a similar way audio can be sent over analog cables or over USB. The Virus can work in a number of modes but what's common to all of them is turning MIDI into audio. If you draw them by hand according to the ruler, they will play delayed, so the best solution is to nudge the clip to the left by a constant amount of milliseconds. Do you draw your notes or record them? If I remember correctly, Ableton Live does its delay compensation (more on that later) by putting the recorded MIDI notes a little earlier than expected when looking at the bar/beat grid (and then they sound in time). From my experience 'playing before' and 'playing after' is usually not the same problem (and cause).
