Sync tr8s audio with ableton

[@sepandsep]

i was going crazy with sync issues until i found this video.. tysm!

[@BlakeeBlue]

You have singlehandedly saved my sanity. Thank you, SO MUCH

[@jimmywheelo]

Glad you got there 🙌

[@davefellows]

This was super handy. Had things working but was struggling with the latency so this was just what I need, thank you!

[@davefellows]

Hmm, actually, the latency seems to change so I'm at a loss on what to do to allow live playback.

[@yannbzh100]

I was looking for how to do it with my future RD 9, I saved a lot of time and learned new things, thank you very much!

[@VangArt_Music]

it's the single most detailed video out of the many I've seen these days. It's really the only thing that helped me to get TR8S working with Ableton live 11. Thank you very much

[@meltingwax3520]

I learnt exactly what I needed here. Thanks mate!

[@sthefanoreis7427]

thanks bro, did u realy save me with sync problems using my drumbrute sequencer to send midi and control kits through ableton

[@tiagocavalcante2854]

Dude, this video was really helpful. I was having trouble with setting up my TR-8s and by watching your video I was able to solve everything. Thanks so much

[@djjessy]

Nothing works for me....

@@tiagocavalcante2854 Hey bro,thanks for your reply🙏 My Tr8s doesn't sync with ableton when I run it inside a project(doesn't sync with all the other elements...) I tried it with the USB when the tr8s is 'the sound card' and also via cables from the master out To my main sound card. Unfortunately nothing works...

[@tiagocavalcante2854]

@@djjessy For Windows, what worked for me was to connect the TR-8S via USB for midi sync and the master out to my soundcard to record. Connect the USB and go to preferences - MIDI and in the MIDI Ports section check "IN - TR-8s" and "IN - TR-8S Ctrl" leave only the TRACK marked and the other ones unmarked. Go to the OUT TR8-S and TR-8S Ctrl and leave everything marked: track, sync, and remote. This way when I hit play in Ableton, the TR-8S starts playing too (with the right bpm). This should solve the midi/sync issue. For recording, I just figured it would be way easier to just connect the master to my soundcard as an instrument.

@@tiagocavalcante2854 hey king,thank you so much for your help🙏🙏🙏🙏 I ended up skipping on the Audio from the USB and just connected it to my soundcard,it still doesn't sync 100 but works ok. Your the best ❤

[@GHK--Q4r324]

Thanks for such a helpful tutorial! best one ive found yet and straight to the point. Liked!

[@tomlferr]

Great explanation, thank you!

[@benm9112]

Muchas gracias ! Je commençais à désespérer et puis je suis tombé sur cette vidéo !! 🙏🙏🙏

[@mazenel-bakri9538]

Damn brother, thank you so much. I was almost giving up this shit, but you saved it ;-)

[@АндрейСеменец-й3х]

thank u so much for the video! it's really helpful 🙏

[@TomasBalazmusic]

thanks bro REDUCED LATENCY WHEN MONITORING is the key. THANKS BRO

[@sanderschuurman8393]

This reduced latency option can cause crackles in the sound when switching between tracks, be aware of this.

[@petercollins2434]

worked a treat. thanks :)

[@matteaudio]

Thank you so much!!!!

[@santiagobejarano5162]

you rock!

[@shadow__work_]

Life saver!

[@lillehammerexperimental]

Great tip thanks ! 🙏

[@outterspace1]

You can record with no adjustment and then work with the sample - by adjusting it - it’s essential to know how to adjust the tempo

[@davefellows]

Not so useful for playing live though.

[@vinnytnecniv]

Great video , Thanks mate 👍🏼

[@FelixPatek]

Can you somehow rec to Single audiotracks vor each Kick, Snare, Hats etc?

[@ashorii]

Thank you for making this. Definitely helpful. Couple of questions though. In midi setup, why are you using song and not pattern? It's usually recommended for drum machines to chose pattern. (pls correct me if I'm wrong?) Is there a reason you have remote turned on?

[@ssrymusic]

this method will not work until the end in my experience. at first it works, but than over time the latency will change and forces you to constantly check the timing. I know, many people experience the same issue. Did anybody every figure out a way to overcome this?

[@shsgsy]

Really struggling with this too

[@FelixPatek]

So its absolutly worthless

[@ericwarr9088]

Just adjust audio after recording...

[@bugpowder341]

Thanks a lot mate !

[@hwangbaxa]

Do you know any solution for pattern change latency? There is no problem with starting and stopping in Ableton. However, when a pattern change signal is sent, got a big latency😢

[@jimmywheelo]

Hi there Sorry I sold my tr8s a long time ago, otherwise I'd look into it for you

[@kozihoppy]

Thank you for sharing! I suppose there's no way to compensate the first transient because it's where the MIDI signal adjusts itself right?

[@jimmywheelo]

Some gear just seems to have issues with the first beat. I know the Digitakt for example can have trouble in that respect too. That said, very often It's fine for me.

[@diegosk8ification]

So im gonna need an Audio interface of more than 2 chanels if i want to use a guitar and a microfone as well?? :(

[@davefellows]

I didn't need to do anything with my AI at all. Just works through the usual Ableton/laptop -> Audio Interface...

[@luigiv7383]

you know how to solve the problem of latency when using the TR-8S in an ableton drumrack, there is a huge lag with the ableton metronome ???

[@adamdickens1800]

Hi thanks, Will this then apply for all instruments? So I won’t have to put a different delay every time I want to record a new instrument?

[@jimmywheelo]

Hi there. Yes the principle is exactly the same. You'll find each bit of hardware you setup will have different figures but yes the setup principle is just the same

[@comedemahieu1517]

While recording your sounds from the tr8s, are you using your tr9s as an interface or do you use a different audio interface`, I struggle to assign the tr8 to an audio input while the audio output is my soundcard (audio interface) ? By doing so I would like to have each sound in a different track so I can mix and play on the tr8? any tip for this?

[@jimmywheelo]

Hi there. I have always used a separate audio interface with the Tr8s. I am a PC user so I cannot realistically use the Tr8s as the interface as it limits all my other kit. So I'm very sorry but I'm unable to answer your question.

[@andrebarrios1871]

I have this same issue. When I set ASIO as my audio driver, and choose TR8S as the input device, it then does not allow me to select an audio output device and defaults as the TR8S as the output device as well. I would like it to putput to my focusrite. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[@comedemahieu1517]

@@andrebarrios1871 I wouldn't bother bro, i sold mine.... bought me a nice digitakt instead which is wayyyy nicer :)

[@comedemahieu1517]

@@andrebarrios1871 and there is a plugin from elektron dat can connect your digitakt to the DAW veryyyy easily which is great

[@potatosan4250]

great vid! are you scared to talk?

[@Flashback_Jack]

This is bloody confusing. All I want to know is how to connect my TR-8S to Ableton. I'm supposed to create 11 channels but nobody seems to explain how.

[@jimmywheelo]

It's dead easy. 1. Install the tr8s drivers. 2. Connect to computer via USB 3. In Ableton goto the preferences. 4. Choose the audio tab. 5. Select the tr8 as an aside device. 6. Back to the main page. 7. Select an audio track and choose the tr8s as the audio input and select channel 1 8. Repeat number 7 for a new audio channel and set the next channel as 2......and repeat until you have done all 11. Any probs let me know

[@biggestdunse]

youre the fuckin man

[@jimmywheelo]

No you’re the fucking man! 😂

[@biggestdunse]

@@jimmywheelo yo! the only thing that hasn't been working is dialing in the ms delay latency, is there another latency setting I should be checking?
