it seems that I solved a lot by activating the reading of the cache in "file system" during playback and recording and also by lowering the latency to 128 samples, now when I record, the audio clip is perfectly in synch but there is still a lot of latency of the midi automations during recording, maybe when I created my new template I exaggerated with the channel aux, in fact the problem doesn't exist if I start a new empty file

I've been testing for about one year with 2 laptops, an Asus consumer and an MSI Katana gaming, but nothing has changed, still using the motu m4, I have always seen the same latencies on every PC on every occasion. I believe at this point that the sound card has problems if you tell me that the 512 buffer is too much for most people. I'll stop with the posts about latency, but I don't understand the solution thank you all the same

yes I have several posts on latency but each one is specific to its own problem, I always use the Motu M4 and midi kbd: behringher u control Asio sample rate 48000, 24bit, buffer 512 (file system) enable read/write cache "disabled" I/O buffer 256 playback/256 rec recording latency reported in CbB = 1286 (even moving the offset manually does not change anything in the recording) I have the checkbox "remove DC offset during recording" I don't have any particular CPU-heavy plugins

I have different latencies, when I apply recording, all the automations start very late which does not happen in playback. when I record audio from an internal VST or an external synth the recording will start a few seconds early. latencymon does not detect any latency problems, I tried to deactivate all the fx, activate the dc compensation, change the buffer size but nothing seems to change What else?

I also tried to pass the signal from the sound card through my Mackie VLZ3 (made in America) but I didn't notice any difference compared to the internal processing in the signal, even by raising the gain of the mixer channel it didn't change, I think that to obtain a certain type of sound you need to have certain preamps like the Neve 5059 or 8816 summing mixer, but are expensive

ok but if I use vst I would have to exit the sound card to process analogically and then return, this would increase a lot of latency in songwriting, however I understood what you mean and it is in fact the only real solution to analogue heat

I correct myself, by recording the audio of the instrument channel the prochannel will still be recorded if it is turned on in the aux channel, it will have to be turned off, but in any case having the 2 independent sessions helps me a lot in calibrating the sound, because I don't start the song with the prochannels turned on I turn them on halfway through the song because the console emulations change the response of the sounds a bit and I like to start dry then after recording I do a bit of trim, saturation, eq on the prochannel

in fact I also use the prchannel as a console channel, placing it post fx and in the fx section I insert the recording chain of the instrument, but now I have a new method, I use the instrument channels only for the fx and the midi data, then I route to a group (aux) and insert the prochannel as if it were the audio channel of the console, so I have separated the recording sessions and the mix session, in this way if I record the instrument the prochannel will not also be recorded and then I insert the recorded audio track into the aux group (prochannel) for the audio mix

So why do all these analog consolle emulations exist? I only use vst or hardware synths, I don't preamplify from the sound card, but after recording the sound at -12 dbfs if I increase the console emulation trim on the prochannel the sound acquires more character, and if I do it on all the channels everything will be heard more beautiful, then by putting the console emulation at the beginning I can see the input level in dbfs or rms when the faders are in postfader levels and this helps me a lot in gain staging, in addition to the VUs In my opinion, using Prochannel emulation is better than not using it Thanks

my intention is to emulate an analogue console without necessarily having to resort to third-party plugins that overload the CPU, then I tried to hear the effect of my songs with and without the console emulation in the prochannel and it can be heard a lot, in my opinion those modules sounds good, thanks

I use the Prochannel a lot as a channel strip of the console, putting the pre at the beginning then the compressor and equalization and the FX Chain represents the Insert and I put everything post FX, but sometimes I wonder if the Prochannel is really a channel strip or if it is an insert, The fact that the modules are outboard style and not channel strip makes me think so in a channel strip I don't have an LA2A in outboard format or an 1176 or a reverb, the pre should be at the beginning not at the end how do you use prochannel? Would I be better off inserting a third-party emulation as a channel strip and using the prochannel as the track insert? Thank you (Google translate)

I noticed that if I add a midi controller to cakewalk and then open some vsti synthesizers, the midi controller will by default have one or more parameters connected without having activated "midi learn" or having assigned any NRPN to the automation line, I wanted to know how I can disable this automatic control? because if I wanted to do a live automation performance with the cc37 knob of the midi controller for example, it will write the automation of the control I set but at the same time the default parameter set will also change, creating a mess (the midi controller cc knob changes depending on the plugin). Is there a way to see the default connections of the cc parameters with the midi controller? Thank you

fantastic, now I have tons of tutorials to watch, can the OS settings be saved for hypothetical formatting or will I have to redo everything if I reset?

after a day tied to the desk I managed to lighten a lot of the load on the CPU thanks to an "Optimizer" app for Win 10 and 11, I also deactivated the energy saving on many activities especially the USB3.1 port but not on the processor, now the projects no longer have problems even at 256 buffer, the Latencymon levels have lowered but it says that there are still problems although the audio is now much faster and more stable, HIBI, thanks for the link it is exactly one of the processes that puts the PC in crisis I'll try to study better tomorrow, for today I'm satisfied, thanks!!

thanks for the info, but do you think msi's katana 17 series is good for a daw? I think it's a nice, fairly powerful computer, however I'll do everything I can to better understand the settings, it seems there are a lot of problems to solve
