Electronic (V Drums) Drums & Latency
For the life of me, I can't seem to get a decent drum track recorded using a Hart Professional drum kit hooked up to a Roland TD-12 which is hooked up to an M-Audio Fast Track Pro over midi, which is hooked up via USB to a MacPro with 6G memory.
Some beats are on, most are close, but not close enough and it seems to lag more in one measure than another, or sometimes just a few hihat notes will lag in a measure where other drums come through fine.
It would be ok if they were all equally off, because then I could just shift the whole track over a smidgen and call it a day.
Fix timing is utterly infeasible on a drum track with all the ghost notes and triplets.
Is it my interface? Is it Garage Band? Is it (hopefull not) the TD-12 Midi out?
I'm thinking I need to buy a pci interface or a FW interface instead of USB maybe? Or maybe I wouldn't have this problem with ProTools or Logic?
This is so frustrating.
At this time, I have checked the less latency setting in the preferences for Garage Band, and I send audio out from GB through the headphone jack on the Mac Pro so I don't have any possiblity of latency due to GB going through the FastTrack Pro.
I've locked every single track in the recording so there should be no processing overhead to worry about.
Anyone know what can be done about this?
