Hi All,
Does anyone know if there is a feature will push audio back in time after recording? I bought a ClockStep multi to help with drum machine timing. Everything is now perfectly on time, but it’s consistently late.
If I use my MC707 as an external instrument it has a 21ms delay, if I record using a regular stereo input it has only 6ms at 128. I recorded both tracks below at the same time, and the external instrument setup is clearly adding a lot of extra delay or over compensating.
I tried setting the external instrument latency control and it seems to do absolutely nothing at any setting.
Am I missing something here? I wanted to use an external instrument setup so I could set the latency, but it seems to be not working and also making the timing worse.
I guess the syncing of external gear is a science of its own. I haven´t been dealing with this for years. anyways, I would go crazy looking at this and move it manually, but there is a latency controller just to the left of your photo in the inspector under the volume and pan where you can punch in data.

The odd thing is that after buying a sample accurate clock and spending a day mucking around, I tried it again as an external instrument via regular DIN and it’s within 1ms at 128. Maddening.
I have a suspicion Cubase doesn’t know how to compensate when using an audio clock so the best approach is probably to bypass it by recording ins on a regular audio channel which I’ll do if it gets bad again.
I would still really like to see a feature to just pull back the audio by however many MS you specify for whatever track. The timing control works but if drums are 20ms off grid they are harder to edit so I end up having to trim everything manually.
