I have confirmed the Audio Buffer setting in Cubase Elements 12 is set to lowest level, but am experiencing a very bad latency issue when recording audio with UR12 - Yamaha driver. The computer is fairly new so wondering where to focus troubleshooting? UR12 is connected to PC with USB.
Are you using any high latency plugins? Is this a new issue? As in, have you been able to record with minimal latency in the past?
What does this mean exactly?
What are you recording? Vocals? Guitar? Using FX?
No not using any plugins. This is a new setup I have no previous/successful recording.
This is audio from guitar/amp. Not using any FX.
Just to make sure, by “latency” you mean there is a delay of the sound from the time you play your guitar to the time you hear it?
Are you sure you have the Yamaha driver selected in Cubase “Studio Setup”? What buffer size do you have set? What is the reported Input/Output Latency?
Are you using a template or creating a project from scratch?
The audio sounds fine while recording but is delayed on playback, out of sync with the metronome.
I do have the UR12 Yamaha drive selected in Studio setup.
I am creating projects from scratch
The audio buffer size is 10 milliseconds
Oh, okay … that sounds like a different situation than what most people refer to as latency.
Can you describe your recording setup in more detail? What is your “metronome” source during recording vs playback? What are you playing along to while recording?
At least we can rule out the input latency side of things, I think.
Yes, I am only recording audio at this point.
I am using the metronome setup under Transport. I have selected :
Use Midi Click
Use Audio Click
Click while recording
click while playing
Click during count-in
Right after the count-in bars the metronome sound cuts out for 2 and 1/2 bars consistently. Then when playing back the recorded audio the metronome sound is out of sync (delayed).
Any reason for both to be checked? Not sure it matters in this situation, but try using just the default audio click.
I don’t have a Steinberg interface (and probably never will … 
) to know setup details for their software apps. Are you using direct monitoring while recording? Just guessing at things at this point.
Something is definitely strange there. I’m out of ideas for now.
