CHAPTER 23. LIVE INSTRUMENT REFERENCE 381
slider allows you to set your latency compensation amount in either milliseconds or samples.
If your external device connects to Live via a digital connection, you will want to adjust your
latency settings in samples, which ensures that the number of samples you specify will be
retained even when changing the sample rate. If your external device connects to Live via
an analog connection, you will want to adjust your latency settings in milliseconds, which
ensures that the amount of time you specify will be retained when changing the sample
rate. Note that adjusting in samples gives you ner control, so even in cases when you're
working with analog devices, you may want to ne tune your latency in samples in order
to achieve the lowest possible latency. In this case, be sure to switch back to milliseconds
before changing your sample rate. Any latency introduced by devices within Live will
be compensated for automatically, so the latency slider will be disabled when using the
External Instrument Device to route internally. Latency adjustments when routing to ReWire
devices will probably not be necessary, as most ReWire-enabled programs also compensate
automatically. But if you feel that something is off in the timing of your set, try adjusting
this slider.
Note: If the Delay Compensation option is unchecked in the Options menu, the Latency
slider is disabled.
For more detailed information about routing scenarios with the External Instrument device,
please see the Routing and I/O chapter.
