Audio interfaces often report the correct latency as incorrect, but this is not the case with driver error compensation. In other words, your audio should line up with the music. With this feature, you can tell Ableton how much your interface is off by telling it to compensate for it. This is especially useful when you’re using an external interface with your own drivers. If the latency of the external interface is higher than your computer’s, driver error compensation can help you compensate for it.
Driver Error Compensation works with all audio interfaces, but it’s only applicable when the monitor on the recording track is set to “off”. If the monitor is set to “auto” or “in,” you won’t need this feature. You’ll need to use this option if your recording interface doesn’t report the correct latency to Live. For this method to work, you must switch your monitoring settings to auto or in.
For the best results, drivers should be updated regularly. You should make sure that your audio interface is using the latest version of the audio protocol. This ensures that your computer is not experiencing unexpected latency issues. In addition, enabling this option will improve the sound quality of your output. However, it is not recommended if you are using an outdated audio interface. It will cause your audio to be distorted and inaudible.
Live 9 has a driver error compensation setting that lets you send audio to external software and have it come back without a delay. It’s important to note that this feature works only if you have your monitoring set to “Off” – it won’t work if it’s set to “Auto” or “In”. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us. So, you’ve made the right decision! You can now easily fix your audio problems with driver error compensation.
In order to enable Driver Error Compensation, you must be using an audio interface that supports it. It will also be helpful to use an audio interface that does not use the ASIO protocol. The driver must be compatible with both audio hardware and software. Generally, this will be the most compatible model. A driver error compensation setting is necessary to ensure that the software can support your soundcard. If the audio interface does not support this, disable it in Live. This will fix the issue.
When using driver error compensation, you need to have the audio monitor set to “Off” or “In” when you are recording. The driver should be able to handle the incoming audio. Using this feature will prevent the program from sending the audio to an external device that is not capable of doing so. It will also keep your recordings sounding great. This option is a must-have for every professional producer. The driver error compensation setting will give you a clearer picture of your audio system’s performance.
For drivers that support Driver Error Compensation, you need to set the monitoring mode to “Auto”. It will send audio to an external application without delay. It will then send that audio back to Live without any lag. It will not work if you have Monitor Mode set to “In”. In such cases, you’ll need to use an external application to use Driver-Error-Compensation. The latter option allows you to receive the audio you’re listening to without any delay.
To use Driver Error Compensation, you need to have the monitor on the recording track set to “Off” instead of “Auto” or “In”. When the monitor is set to Auto or In, you’ll get the same results as with the former. If you have this setting, it will cause Live to report incorrect latency. So, you should be careful while choosing an audio interface that supports this feature. It is not an option for everyone.
When using the Driver Error Compensation feature, you should keep in mind that the driver on your audio interface determines the latency. The reason is that different audio interfaces will produce slightly different results. If your audio interface does not support Driver Error Compensation, you should use another audio interface. This way, you can use the same audio software for recording. If you don’t, you can also try changing the setting to “Auto” and see if it improves the latency.
