I need to downgrade. Cubasis 3.3 introduces massive latency problems when using it as live effects generator.
1. Summary/Title
Crackles & suddenly latency jumps.
2. Description
I can’t work with Cubasis as live effects and instrument host anymore. I used it and send audio to RME babyface and looped back to loopy to use instruments and effects for looping. This worked since eome time without problems. Now this is completely screwed up. Suddenly latency is introduced. Suddenly there come crackles.
I have no backup, how can I downgrade to the old version? Today it completely killed a live-session, that’s really disappointing.
TRYING TO FEED LOOPY WITH CUBASIS SOUNDS NOW VIA AUDIOBUS:
Now I tried a different way with interapp audio (which never worked reliable before but seems to become better ) and when I use microphone and keyboard suddenly big latency is inserted. When I go to audio and switch to higher latency and then back, everything goes back to normal. This is maximum not reliable! How can it be that Cubasis changes latency arbitrarily!?!?!
One hour later:
So O.K., there seem to be improvements with Interapp Connectivity. I’m digging deeper with this.
If I am able to connect cubasis via Audiobus3 with loopy reliably, I am happy again. But I’m in fear of these sudden changes with latency. That is a no go. I now worked for some minutes without problems.
IF Interapp connectivity really works now, that would be an improvement. I give it a chance and get back here, when I have it working stabele.
Some minutes later:
Again suddenly, out of nothing, there is latency on my midiinstrument, while using MIDI and Microphon in parallell. I go to settings, switch latency forth and back and the latency is gone.
Seems to be a stupid bug, but I can’t say, WHEN exactly this happens. The program should never change latency on it’s own.
Some hours later:
I left the setup running for a while, doing other things. When I hit the keyboard again, there was a horrible latency (felt like 0,5 seconds).
I now turned of all synchronisation from audiobus and will wait again. Curious, what will happen.
Short time later:
Without doing anything after a break playing again: latency! Now I will use only Audiobus for Output, not to send audio to loopy and see what happens
Again a short time later:
Again there occures latency after a while doing nothing. I bet it doesn’t matter if doing nothing or something.
Short time later:
It happens also without Audiobus!!! When I have Microphon with effects & Midi instrument on, after a while I get latency… This is the strangest thing ever…
After a while: Crazy poop:
This is MIDI-Latency drift!!! With the on screen keyboard it does not occure. It just happens with the Midi-keyboard connected. So now this is really reproducable and narrowed to the point. The Microphone is not delayed, internal inscreen keyboard is not delayed, only instruments played by externel Midi BECOMES DELAYED over time!!
I WANT TO GET PAYED FOR THIS!
3. Expected Results
Stable latency and no crackles.
4. Actual Results
Latency and crackles.
5. Environment
Cubasis 3.3, last iPad mini, RME Babyface, loopy
