[elektron] Re: Machinedrum and Cubase

2005-07-06 by dougvarn

thanks for the chime Justin...i'm new to sequencing and such so i'm 
learning a lot still.
so far, at least with my case, my MD latency is so small that it 
really makes no difference when i hear it.  sure, when i zoom in like 
mad and see things a little off the beat, it's upsetting, but when i 
stop and hear it, i think otherwise.  and apparently there are ways to 
fix it, nudging, record offset settings in Cubase, etc.

i'm a drummer, and thinking i should just record myself tapping 
quarters (quarter notes that is) to a click track, with my damnest of 
concentration.  i'm good enough drummer to produce tracks that sound 
definitely "on beat".

and then zoom my own track in and see how much i'm off beat when it 
sounds dead on to me and possibly any other listener, then compare 
that with my MD's latency amount.  just for kicks...

Justin, you also mentioned you chop off the beginning of your songs a 
bit, but isn't the latency on going through the whole song?  how do 
you fix it?
