The is quite the delay from the time i touch my midi keyboard till the time the sound comes out. Anything i can do to make it shorter, for it will be easier for me to play without that delay? Sorry my question format ***** but im sure ya get me/.
Logic Pro X, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
Hi
There are two possibilities here, depending on exactly where your problem lies:
a) Instrument tracks have a"Live mode", where the record button is Red, and a "not-live" mode (record button reveresed gray/red) where the Instrument channel is in "sleep" (my term) mode to save CPU power.
When "waking" or putting an Instrument channel in Live mode by playing a MIDI note, there is a small delay whilst the channel is put in Live mode.
You can put an Instrument channel into Live mode by a variety of methods, buy the easiest would be to send it any MIDI messages before trying to play something "realtime", by clicking on the R button in the track header, or by pressing play with the correct track selected.
b) More general latency is affected by the buffer size in Logic Pro X Preferences:Audio. Smaller buffer=lower latency but higher CPU load.

In addition to CCT's tips, when all else fails you could go Logic Pro>Preferences>MIDI, and click the Reset All MIDI Drivers button. But only if changing the audio buffer didn't help.
Thanks so much. Just had this problem for the first time.
Thanks very much. Had to resort to this MIDI reset and it did the trick.
