Hi all

I still have to order a nome II ..going to v soon

I have query about recording audio back into the daw and potential audio sound card latency ..when using u sync with an external synth / sequencer

So I understand that u sync/ nome will keep the clock out from logic or other daw stable for syncing external synths / sequences.

But in terms of recording the audio back in your daw , even with U Sync / nome providing stable clock to the external device ,,,,,,
is there still considerations around audio latency as everyone has different sound cards. I know logic / cubase has external instrument utility and includes latency compensation. Its does some kind of ping test etc.

But without that , are we looking at the usual methods .lower buffer , software monitoring etc..

I saw the u sync manual that there are suggested audio settings for different daws etc

Hi

Thanks for asking here.
If you are sending MIDI Clock (or an analog clock) from the Nome to an external sequencer, with the Nome synced to the DAW over U-SYNC, you can get zero latency. The audio latency is compensated within U-SYNC.

Please note that U-SYNC does not handle MIDI Notes at the moment (it only deals with clock), we plan on improving this in U-SYNC 2.0.

You can still send MIDI Notes (and other MIDI data) through the Nome to your devices, but they go through the usual USB-MIDI, so their timing is unchanged, and will be the same as with any other USB-MIDI interface (unlike the clock that will be uber tight).
