Antares Auto tune 20 ticks off, bad latency comp

Post by toodamnhip »

I have been having to time shift all audio made with antares auto tune, moving it forward by 20 ticks to get it sample accurate.
Something seems to be amiss between DP and antares as far as latency comp.
I am using DP bounce to disk for the mort part to render the antares files. I will check later to see if direct recording into a new track has the same issue.

Try to set your audio plugins: Always in real time, under Preferences.
Hope this helps.

I will check for that next time in studio, thanks, but unless Dp 8.03 automatically changed prefs, that should be how I have things set. Although, come to think of it, occasionally I find that darn pref changed and don;t recall ever changing it myself.

But next time you can, if ever you Antares bounce a track, zoom in to see how the samples line up.
20 tick is enough to sound lethargic and a bit behind the beat.
When I adjust MIDI drums for example, 4 ticks can be the difference between MIDI drums sounding energetic or behind a bit. Now, I know that’s with snares and kicks and thus more obvious, but it goes to show, 20 ticks is significant.
