Trigger problems within pro tools

[RichMinerva]

i dont know if any of you are having this problem....but i am

theres an ever slight delay in trigger when replacing superior in playback.

so it sounds like everything is flamming i dont know how to rectify it as even when put into live mode its still there ever so slightly :/

Is delay compensation enabled in Pro Tools? Are you triggering from MIDI or audio?

 

[RichMinerva]

triggering from midi adam

 

[AdamWathan]

Trigger is shitty when triggering from MIDI, it doesn't delay the audio output at all but DOES report latency. So what happens is the host tries to compensate for the delay that trigger is reporting but since there wasn't any actual delay, the triggered sound comes out early.

Try throwing time adjuster after trigger and setting it to 485 samples if you are in accurate mode, should solve it (at least it does in Cubase and Reaper). As long as you are using Pro Tools 9 anyways and have delay compensation.

im in pro tools 9 but dnt know how to set delay compensation haha :/

actually with short delay compensation its not doing it anymore is that going to eat at my cpu or anything though?

Turn on long delay compensation and never worry about it again! It won't have any significant impact on anything, that option is permanently enabled in every other DAW on the market.

Moreover, cmd+click (or ctrl+click on windows) 2 times on the volume number (under the track fader) and it will show you the delay amount

hmmm.
I just triggered some pretty intense stuff with midi; and where it was perfect before; it is now sucking massively!!

thats what he said

Usually with midi I exported the midi track from Trigger, I shift it back if necessary and I quantize the midi track. No problem at all

I should mention this is in addition to downgrading to 1.64!
