Most People Record Synths In Ableton Wrong (Do This Instead)

Most people record hardware synths into Ableton Live wrong way. And that is why you get latency, timing drift and sync issues that make everything feel slightly late. In this video, we show you clean way to fix it using one Ableton stock device: External Instrument. If you are using any hardware synth with Ableton Live and things never feel tight, this is workflow that fixes it. Timecodes: 00:00 - Record hardware synths in Ableton Live without latency 00:18 - Hardware synth cabling, audio into your interface (line level) 00:45 - MIDI setup for hardware synths, USB vs MIDI DIN 01:41 - Ableton Live Preferences, audio interface, inputs, MIDI ports, Sync 02:33 - Sending MIDI to your synth, choosing the right MIDI channel 03:18 - Common mistake that causes hardware synth latency 03:49 - Fix it with Ableton External Instrument, tighter timing 05:00 - Measure and compensate hardware latency inside External Instrument 05:46 - How to record the hardware synth audio properly (post effects) 06:20 - Record hardware synth knob moves as automation in clips 08:12 - Reduce Latency When Monitoring, when to use it 08:43 - Direct monitoring on your audio interface for the tightest feel 09:26 - Next steps, recording modular synths in Ableton Live (even more latency) Playlist: | | #Recording Original video:
