Freshmint Melee

Thanks everyone for all the comments, great community ! After reading all of your suggestions, I can confidently say that nothing has completely done it for me. I continued to try different settings and the only thing that worked for me is to bypass the daw's input monitoring and set my usb interface to direct monitoring. I'll have to deal with white noise but it'll be fine for now. I cannot for the life of me understand what is creating this native playback delay. I'm sure it's something completely trivial but I guess I'll find out eventually. I'll keep everything in mind but at least in the meantime I can record on beat without worry, ahah. Cheers and keep on comping ! Fresh

Wow man, this is a pretty neat trick, I hadn't thought of that workaround to test out latency. So basically in the settings I just need to override my interface's ASIO reported latency and just make my own in manual offset right ?

Hi ! First and foremost, thanks for the reply, always good to see people well versed try and help the newbies ahah. To give a bit of context, this was a clean new project to test out the earliness of the latency so there are no FX or plugins, this was only a single DI track. Also I think 2.5ms is definitely fine since that latency is probably humanly inaudible, at least the input monitoring audio sounds pretty instantaneous to me ! But I'm 25ms early when recording on tempo, not late. I'm pretty sure the playback sound and the metronome latency is to blame and not the recording, right ? To answer you, my PDC is already off so it probably wouldn't make much of a difference anyways if I get the gist.

Hello fellow Cakewalk users ! I'm new to DAWs and cakewalk is my first one, so my technical savviness isn't yet on point. I've been working for hours on end on Cakewalk for the past few weeks and I have a question I hope someone can answer, I'd be so grateful! I'm using a Focurite Scarlett Solo 2nd gen as my USB interface, and I have been reading all I can on latency correction on this forum and on Youtube for two days and I have been testing all the different buffers to reduce the latency to a non-discernable one. No matter what I tamper with, my guitar recording remains early on the track and I have to manually slide it forward. It definitely varies on my settings, I've been able to reduce it from 60ms when I started to 25ms with some tweaking but I can't close this last gap. I tested it by tapping with my hand on my guitar on beat with the metronome so that the measurements I make are the most reliable they can be. Here are the last settings I tried : Am I missing an option I should be tweaking ? Is this amount of latency the best I can do ? Is the 48000hz sampling rate the problem ? I'm kinda stumped =/ Thanks in advance for the replies, Fresh
