Re: Software looping



A better computer won't fix that kind of latency. You simply must
avoid to run real-time live audio through the software. Loops are ok,
because they won't make sound until the latest recorded layer loops
back again (given the software applies latency compensation).

The solution is like I mentioned in my first post in this thread; use
direct monitoring of your live input. If you want synced effects run
them in a pedal or rack device BEFORE the looper and have the looper
(or its host appl) send a tempo sync signal back to the effect
devices, first in your audio chain. (Instrument --> synced effect
devices --> software looper tempo master)
