Logic Problem

[elmuchoescadawg]

Im running logic on a g5 with a Motu 24 i/o and generally have no problems with the setup. Last night I was recording a guitar player and when ever we finished a track and played it back the parts he had played felt pushed somehow. When it was actually being played it all sounded fine. We had no plugins on when tracking as Ive found that although Logics own plugins dont cause a problem when I use my UAD1s plugs it causes latancy.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why this might be happening at all?

Oh yeah everythings played to click and this particular guitarist is tighter than a nun

I would disable "software monitoring" for a start, and listen to only the source when tracking. And if it's still there, come back here

 

[elmuchoescadawg]

Thanks for the answer but when were tracking its all fine and the pushed feel occurs on playback. All the MOTU apparently had zero latency monitoring

Does your version of Logic automatically compensate for plugins latency ? It may be the problem.

 

[elmuchoescadawg]

I believe it has native plugin latency compensation so this wouldnt cover the UAD plugins so we turned them off. The parts still sounded rushed. You think I just need to give the guitar player a slap? Strange thing is his performances sound spot on when theyre going down its just play back thats the problem

Then I'd go with what prititing said and check for a monitoring issue during recording. I guess that the offset is constant throughout the takes right?

 

[elmuchoescadawg]

It is although its only subtle. Its just strange that while hes playing it its spot on but the problem only occurs during playback

 

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

I may have a solution. What version of Logic are you using?

 

[elmuchoescadawg]

Its 7.1.1 thanks

Well this is exactly what "software monitoring" does. Maybe it's not your problem, but it's worth checking out.

record a click track through the guitar pickup (crank your speakers really loud, turn the gate on the guitar off, put the guitar pickups next to the speakers, hit play and record the guitar input)

play back and see if the recorded click track matches to the click track

believe it or not, i've done this, and every single time its the guitar player, not the computer

That sounds like a pretty crazy plan but it might just work. Thanks again

Ok, so in fact you must buy MY 7.2 version to fix your problem, live longer, have better erections and stop losing your air.
