Manage Latency Like A Pro - Low Latency Mode Workaround

[@MichaelSasser]

Low Latency Threshold. That just saved me from spending $1k on an Apollo Twin. It was driven me NUTS recording and having to change the gain staging of the track when monitoring. Thank you!

[@chadpaik7705]

can i just say that i really, truly appreciate you sharing your knowledge with the noobs like me? Your tips are all golden, and I cannot believe I am getting this quality of tips and lessons for free. Again, I really appreciate you and please continue do what you do!!!! Also, if you get a chance, I would LOVE a tutorial on midi transforms and doing better automation workflow!

[@tacosalpaxtor]

I searched forums but did not find the answer. Thanks a lot. Liked and Subd. My answer was setting low latency safe for my purposes. Thanks a lot man. Keep up the good work.

[@dm1943]

Really good tutorial, thanks! I have found that my strategy is to recognize that Low Latency Mode will always have compromises that, in the end, are necessary to manage live tracking. Once tracked and Low Latency mode is off I can mix a session without compromise. Also in some cases I will disable some tracks to allow the performer being tracked to hear the essential elements of the mix to perform to while reducing CPU load: Fewer tracks = less latency issues.

The best channel about Logic I have ever seen

[@robg1030]

Thank you!! Finally a full explantation of low latency more

[@TheGuitarNerdShow]

I don't have a "Low Latency Safe" option on any of my sends. Additionally, if I remove all plugins from the aux to which I'm sending, Low Latency Mode STILL disables that send, even if I set the latency limit slider all the way up, regardless of which PDC option I have selected. I'm on a Mac Studio Max & my interface connects through Thunderbolt so I shouldn't be having issues like this. Any ideas?

[@hettovennik2887]

100% into this currently; 2013 iMac 27” and modern heavy CPU plugins

[@joelgraham3]

Great - thanks. I know people will roll their eyes when they read this but I actually save tracks - uncompressed - put them back in next to the original - turn the original off and carry on with my project. That can happen many times depending on the tracks/plugins - at the end, I remove the uncompressed tracks and turn the originals back on and save the project. I use a lot of plugins - I play live guitars using Neural DSP and I enhance everything - trying to do a pro job on a lame computer. Unfortunately, my Macbook is subpar. My method works and will have to do until I upgrade

[@LOVERGEIST777]

Thanks for the class!

[@napnap609]

I had a old version of Logic and I never had trouble until more recently. I used to be able to grab 3 tracks (or any amount of tracks really), send their channel outputs to bus 4 and hear those track on coming through on bus 4, whether or NOT I was in low latency mode. Now I can only hear the tracks coming in to bus 4 when low latency mode is OFF. It didn't used to be that way, so frustrating.

[@MrCodyWarner]

I usually just bounce my track. Open a new session, record my new part. And bring that part into my original session.

[@Nicdehouwer]

I wouldn't consider that a time save :D

[@aramkiam]

when it's getting complex and I still need additional recordings, I usually freeze some tracks, also brings the CPU load way down. Once recording's done, just unfreeze again.

[@Boiiiiwhatttt]

What do you mean by freezeing tracks?

[@velanche]

One thing I love about the M1 is that latency struggles are a thing of the past...I hope! I have my sample buffer size at 32, which blows my mind since my 2013 MacBook Pro, my previous Mac, needed at least 256 to work. I did had a problem with a plugin at 32 samples, because apparently it was written for minimum 128 to work properly. Anyway, good video....thanks!

[@cjoth]

iLol. M1 doesn't make latency a struggle of the past. u just haven't gotten there yet (i'm saying this in a nice way). my 2020 Macbook upgraded to the max is sometimes faster than M1 Macbooks (except for M1's upgraded to the max). i can load up VSTs and audio tracks and record at 32 I/O Buffer Size (ofc i'm using Intel i9-9980HK CPU). u'll start to realize latency issues when you really push your projects via multiple VSTs and plugins. however, if ur project is simple, u'll be fine, especially if u work mostly with Logic's stock.

[@sinwithsebastian]

Thanks - but despite using the Low Latency mode - everything I record in Midi is out of time - the time of the latency... I HEAR it right when recording but playing back all I played is too late

[@Boretoto]

Very Useful! Thank you!

[@RafaelUnplugged]

Do you direct consulting?

[@sinewavesstudio5447]

Great explanation of low latency!

[@CoolMusicKids]

My midi oxygen pro Started to play with latency in logic pro. How can I fix that? Please help 🙏. Thanks

[@WilloxPoint]

Brutally helpful , thank you !!!

[@Wclipsssss]

how do i make it so when i hover over the plug-in in the mixer the amount of latency pulls up, doesn’t work on my computer for some reason

[@WasserStreichholz]

And does anyone know how i can make a loop with lets say the progression I-V-iii-I, but i want the last chord to hold so that its the first chord without it playing again?

[@jacobvig0]

I tried Logic Remote on my iPad Pro, but the performance on both my Mac and the remote app gets very slow. Do you have any tips on that?

[@MixReady]

Low Latency Mode doesn't seem to work on my end. It doesn't disable any of my plugins, even with the lookahead on the Adaptive Limiter set to 200ms. I tried playing with the LLM threshold but no luck. Any suggestions? Great tutorial though!

[@francissreckofabian01]

Thanks Chris, very helpful.

[@GloveBunniesVideos]

Great solutions!

[@nelsonmaciel7611]

mmmm if am want reamp guitar, I have to considered the latency or not? Can you do a video about that, I see many people using routing to a mono output, but using the I/O make more sense because of the latency, what is your option or opinion about this, cheers

[@TyRobertsmedia]

Awesome info!!!!!

[@jimbraley6710]

And yet another reason to worship at the altar of Chris! So helpful in understanding the mysteries of latency! And this is so much more efficient than freezing tracks! So many thanks to you Chris.

[@mperson91]

Whats the best way to reduce the latency and still use pitch correction that comes with logic, to use it for live auto tune type of vocals while hearing yourself?

[@MikeSkinnerAudio]

I doubt that’s possible. Just get Waves Tune or the starter auto tune

[@WasserStreichholz]

does anyone know how i can lower the volume of all tracks except the one that im recording so that i can hear better what im playing?

[@MarcoPolux]

Good one!!!! 👍 👍

[@FLH3official]

Very helpfull, thank you

[@dafingaz]

Nice!

[@gcastroism]

Wow how do you figure this stuff out...you must sleep on the mouse.

[@robbystafford8273]

why do you spend time explaining latency like the viewer might be a novice - and then jump into some of the most complex parameters of a DAW with little to no explanation. for someone like me -- not a novice, but still unfamiliar with multithreading and buffer range, etc -- this video is not that helpful. i do love your channel in general though

[@BobbyCrane]

It’s very helpful.

[@robbystafford8273]

​@@BobbyCrane hi bobby. it wasn't to me, and i wasn't talking to you
