When I record MIDI in S1 all my MIDI data is recorded too early. During recording everything sounded perfectly in time though. Is there a way to set up latency compensation and make S1 place the notes where I actually played/heard them while recording?
I am an advanced player and I usually play in time even at the largest buffer settings (block size) as I make up for the latency myself by shifting my playing a bit early. Switching to a smaller buffer setting is not going to work in larger projects due to cpu overload. Many thanks in advance

Good to know what type of interface you're using and put your info in your signature.
Usually not a problem with midi latency, it's audio latency that's causing most problems. But notes not being in the right place now... There was a thing like that long time ago that you find a checkbox in midi settings and try checking it. It will say something about use Timestamp that would fix that. Also if you have midi ports and emulated midi ports try different ones.

Your gear list is flawless. There should be no technical reason why you cannot achieve the performance you seek, unless:
1) There's something wrong with Studio One MIDI recording 2) Your settings are not adjusted for your system and controller latency. Whichever it is, I want to know the answer as well. Sometimes when recording V-Drum tracks, the MIDI notes recorded seem to be out of time by more than what I was hearing in my headphone cue. I'm not a drummer, but I often wonder "Am I really this bad?" Hope we get to the bottom of this. I would suggest downloading a trial version of Reaper and recording into that. Then compare results. Is one DAW performing better than the other MIDI wise? (any DAW will do, obviously). If you know that your meter, timing and attack are spot on—based on past real world performance—then you can make an informed assessment of the issue that you can better trust.

I guess that's that then.
P.S. What attracted you to Studio One? (Don't say "the MIDI timing" cause I own the copyright on that punchline. )

Midi timing is fine for me in Studio One. I assume you are talking about virtual instruments. I also run Ableton and it is the same for me in both programs.
You need to set the buffers for minimum while recording midi data in. I run at 32 samples usually. Playing early to compensate for latency is not the way to do it either. You don't need to. Tip: Use the global disable for all plugins while recording midi data. This will allow super low latency settings while recording midi data in and give you the best response time. You also need to fine tune your midi offset settings as well in order to get midi and audio to line up perfectly. That is what it is there for.

Jemusic wroteMidi timing is fine for me in Studio One. I assume you are talking about virtual instruments. I also run Ableton and it is the same for me in both programs. No other DAW forces you to switch buffer sizes or bypass plugins when you want to record MIDI on the fly. Especially when you can handle latency yourself. This behaviour is super counter intuitive. The most basic function a DAW is supposed to supply is to record things and have them recorded exactly where you recorded them.

There is in preferences Advanced -> Midi setting for Record Offset.
If you record midi live in a consistent way - I guess you can use that. If you have 100 samples pdc in one project and 200 samples in another - StudioOne compensate that - and only variable is the internals delays in system and how you play. Otherwise there is delay setting for each track as well. Using external gear I use to play midi early to compensate each gears individual response time - then setting is negative. Haven't used playing live though, only when rendering audio for external gear. You do have a nice value for total pdc used at lower left - so you can use that as a reference what to set in a track. But on the wrench(top left arrange view) there is a "ignore Plug-In latency " setting - if that is the same as global bypass of plugins - not sure - or what you are asking for, it might be. Hope you get some new ideas to best record in StudioOne.... |
Yelling: HOLD ON, EVERYBODY.
Okay. Let's try to get something established: 1) The MIDI Roulette Wheel: Is this a problem of RANDOM notes NOT LANDING where they were played? or 2) MIDI LATENCY or EARLIENCY: Is this a problem of ALL notes LANDING either LATER or EARLIER than played? This is important because if this is a matter of individual note accuracy (#1), then OFFSET is useless because the problem is not a latency issue between note attack and when it is registered in S1. Instead, it would be a kind of Roulette Wheel affect on your playing where S1 randomly places notes in the timeline at intervals based on its own discretion, which may include waiting for certain other priority processes to finish first, or whatever. If that's the case, then it's a MAJOR problem. If it's just an offset issue, then ALL the notes should align perfectly by simply setting the offset to take latency into account. My reading of the situation is that the OP is experiencing situation #1, the MIDI Roulette Wheel. I have experienced both. Only one of them I can fix.

I get from the OP that all midi notes are landing or being recorded earlier than played. Not random. Studio One does not place random notes early from what I can tell. I actually feel that midi timing in Studio One is very good.

OP (ladasian): Can YOU answer this question so the rest of us won't have to guess what you mean? Is it #1 or #2?

roland1 wroteOP (ladasian): Can YOU answer this question so the rest of us won't have to guess what you mean? Is it #1 or #2?roland1 wroteYelling: HOLD ON, EVERYBODY. It's #2 - ALL notes are placed early. And that actually kind of makes sense cause I have to play them early due to latency. The problem really is that when I shift my playing early during recording what I hear is perfectly in time. But when I play back my recording everything I played is too early in context to the rest of the music. S1 should be able to make what I hear while recording and how it sounds when playing back the recorded data line up because literally every other DAW somehow manages to do that.

Well, that's good news then.
Perhaps try this approach: IF you have a keyboard with onboard sounds, use only those sounds for monitoring, not the VSTi which is giving you latency. That way, as with my V-Drums module, you'll be getting onboard, real-time sounds with which you can better judge your performance. After that, you can switch the VSTi on and it should be in perfect time with your playing. If it is not, then it may also be #1. Hope that is useful info. iadaslan wrote...
