How do I adjust the latency for recorded audio? I followed instructions to open the AudioSetup.txt file but it does not appear to have the "PreferredAudioRecordingLatencyCompensation" line that the M7 Docs referred to. I'm quite new to this program so any help would be greatly appreciated. Attached is a screen grab of the contents of the AudioSetup.txt file.

Normally the audio input/output latencies should be reported correctly by the ASIO driver and MuLab takes that into account automatically. Are you sure the ASIO driver has an issue with reporting the correct latencies?

No I'm not sure. The only way I checked the latency was by recording the inbuilt metronome with a microphone and looking at the offset. How do I determine if the driver is having an issue reporting it correctly?

Your method sounds right.

By that method I have found that there is about 1300 "marker positions" worth of latency. I don't know how else to measure it. Do you know how to correct that?

What do you mean with marker positions? Please express it in the standard unit for such topic: milliseconds.

The latency is by about 30 milliseconds

You can experiment with the PreferredAudioRecordingLatencyCompensation setting as explained on https://www.mutools.com/info/docs/commo ... ences.html
Note that you need to restart MuLab for the setting to take effect.

NB: In the next forthcoming version (M7.6.1) the "PreferredAudioRecordingLatencyCompensation" audio setup setting has been moved to the standard preferences panel and can then be changed without having to restart MuLab.

That's what I was trying initially. However, in those instructions you linked to states that the PreferredAudioRecordingLatencyCompensation is located in the AudioSetup.txt file in the User>Settings folder. When I go to the file, PreferredAudioRecordingLatencyCompensation is not there. My original post has the screen grab of what the file looks like. Should I add a line or is there something else I should do to correct that?

Yes add such line if it's not yet there. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

But even better than that is to update to the latest MuLab 7.6.2. If you're already using MuLab 7.4 or up it's simply a matter of updating the MuLab.EXE and .ID files to the newest ones you can find here: http://www.mutools.com/galaxa/mulab/

In this new version that PreferredAudioRecordingLatencyCompensation preference has been moved to the standard preferences which can be easily edited via MULAB menu -> Edit Preferences.

Hello!

I have a problem with the same thing. I recorded the internal metronome a the recording is out of sync.

The difference is about 1/256th, something like 10ms in 100BPM. The audio interfase is a Tascam 2x2 with the buffer is 128. I attach a screen capture. MuLab version 7.6.8.

I had tried to set the PreferredAudioRecordingLatencyCompensation to Input, with the same result.

This system with Reaper has 3ms of recording delay for reference.

Thank you

My apologies, i didn't realize it was on MuLab's end until Hernan's report. Ok, it turns out that there indeed is a bug in the automatic recording latency compensation when using "Direct Audio Input". This has been fixed in MuLab 7.6.9 which is available here:

http://www.mutools.com/mulab/new

How to install:

Windows: Put the new .exe and .id files into the M7.6 installation folder.
MacOS: Put the new .app file(s) into the M7.6 installation folder.

Great!

Thank you for your reply. But the files have something different than other patches because avast detects as dangerous and blocks it. If I scan the file, Avast reports no risk but it doesn´t let me to execute it.
Never happened before with others updates. I went back to the previous version in order to work.

Can you check than out, please?

By the way, my OS is Windows 10, USB Audio Interface Tascam US-2x2 with its ASIO driver.

Nothing different with these files, they can be trusted, as always.
