Bidule Latency

Post by MichaelL »

Hello All,

I've set-up a large template in DP7 with multiple instances of Kontakt and Play, using Bidule and ReWire. I'm having serious latency issues that are making it impossible to use.

I've adjusted all of the buffers down to 64, but then the audio gets degraded. At 128 the audio sounds OK, but the latency is back.

Any suggestions? Help!

Michael

I use buffer of 512. Make sure that in Bidule that you are using the Rewire outputs and NOT the Bidule 1, Bidule 2 etc. The Rewire outputs allow Automatic Delay Compensation. Don't know if this is any help or you're already doing that.

Yes, make sure that you have your MIDI cabled to the rewire outputs and not the Bidule MIDI ports. That should solve your problems.

Hello everyone. I'm late to this topic (and fairly new to Bidule). I have the latency issues, too. Can you explain (or point me to the appropriate topic regarding) the Bidule rewire outputs? I think that's my trouble. I don't think I've got MIDI cabled to the right modules.

Thank you!
