Latency reduction ideas for recording question!
-
Hello FarPlay Support
I am researching ways of decreasing latency post multitrack recording.
I was wondering if there would be an improvement if the 2 most remote players out of 6 would enable multitrack recording in addition to me creating one and then send me his recorded track only and import his track file into Logic Pro?
I am pretty sure he (Mitchell Shedlarz) has a paid FarPlay account.
Even though I live in Oregon I have 2GB asynchronous Fiber and it seems to be consistent when recording the band.
If his file does improve with inconsistent latency then we will try talking the other band member into purchasing a paid acct with FarPlay.Curt

Hi Curt,
In a DAW, you can improve sync for audio you recorded for a particularly distant player. The screenshots below are from Garage Band, but the steps look similar in other DAWs, like Logic Pro.
Import the separate stems of your multitrack recording into your DAW. Place the playhead to the left of the musical performance.
In this example, the track labeled “Audio 2” belongs to the especially distant player. Select Audio 2. Split this track at the playhead (in Garage Band, Control-Click on the track, then choose “Split at Playhead”).
Click to select the portion of Audio 2’s track to the left of the playhead. Delete this portion.
Drag the remaining portion of Audio 2’s track a small amount to the left. Play the recordings to check whether the tracks are in sync. If not, drag the track for Audio 2 again.
Thank you,

Thank you for your reply. First, could Mitchell take a look at the tips for reducing latency in our troubleshooting guide? Tips for minimizing latency often reduce jitter too.
Thank you,
