![]() The emr solution sounds like overkill and expensive to me unless you have latency I issues with specific gear. Kind of annoying But when I'm recording and there is a bar of pre roll it's fine. Usamo playback starts a bar late though because I have a positive latency adjust set on it. With that said I am using usamo with bitwig but mainly for jitter(drifting midi clock from USB midi not latency) and because bitwig still hasn't added latency adjust for midi clock. I was using a USB connection to rytm and had a4 daisy chained from the thru on rytm. When I used live in he past I sent clock to my rytm and a4 I'd hit space bar and it was in perfect time(good enough) immediately. It does have the USAMO-like audio signal sync, and I'm trying to figure out whether that's a must-have or if it's just nice to have.Not sure how you are getting this two bars of dissonance thing. The Multiclock sounds very nice, but it is a bit on the expensive side. So I'm looking for ways to get them to work in a way where I don't have to juggle around sync issues like the 2-bar delay. I use hardware because there's no hoops you have to jump through, it mainly just works. In my experience, syncing between Ableton and the Elektrons would be fairly good ("good enough"), if it weren't for the 2 bars of awful dissonance before they get up to speed. Can live even slave to a clock? You could possibly get a small controller like a 40 dollar nano kontrol2 that can be your transport controls with live as your master so you wouldn't have to mess with a keyboard. I think this is also under lives preferences somewhere.Įdit:: didn't realize you wanted octatrack to be the master. Then you'd adjust recording latency so when you record the boxes into live they are on the grid. Play a pattern that matches lives metronome and adjust. You could use USB connections for all three or you could daisy chain them with thier thru midi ports and then just use one clock You would adjust latency of clocks to be in synch with things you might be trying to synch in the daw(for monitoring). If you will be using the elektron boxes sequencers then all you need to do is send midi clock from live to all three then set the midi clock latency adjustments in preferences for all three. Research how to set up live to synch with external gear. If you are looking for "good enough" you have what you need right now. ![]() It's my secret weapon.ĮDIT: Here's a relevant thread by some users from a different blog.the second post: You'll never need another sync box for your rig, it does it all. OTOH, if you want to sync a studio, the Multiclock is the only way to go. If you only have a couple of things to sync, the Midiclock is super cool. You can read the glowing reviews on their website. It doesn't work the same as the Multiclock does, but it does sync to DAWs and other gear. I never ended up buying a Midiclock, but I'm sure it works great and is a perfect standalone solution for what you want to do, especially since all your gear uses MIDI-based sync. It's the only sync box I've seen that asks for both the time signature and tempo. (I've found that even when all my gear runs in sync, it doesn't all start at the same moment which makes a huge difference in the groove.) The coolest thing about the Multiclock is the ability to start and stop the individual tracks during a song automatically on the first beat of the measure. The Multiclock does so many things to keep my beats super tight across all the different types of sync - MIDI, DIN, Analog - and once you try shifting the timing of the tracks just slightly, you'll hear the difference. The Midiclock was my original interest in finding ERM, but when they released the Multiclock, I had to have it and now I can't live without it. ERM finally did.ĮRM is a very quality product and I don't hesitate to recommend it. I had been following Innerclock for years and I really wanted a sync-shift, but they never really made the one product with all the features I needed. I haven't used Expert Sleepers or Innerclock gear, and I'm sure it's awesome kit, but you can't use it to its fullest in any kind of standalone mode and I am 98% OTB. It allows me to work OTB and syncs everything in my studio, but if I have to work with my DAW, it easily will sync to the DAW using a audio sync track, just like the other boxes.
