Topic: Loopback delay between DAWs

Hi

i'm routing PT12HD to Ableton Suite 10 through the virtual cables loopback-system Totalmix offers with the MADIface Pro i own, and back into PT to print the efx used in Live. This is my setup:

In PT:
External FX 1 send -> MADI 1/2

In TotalMIX:
MADI 1/2 (software playback)-> MADI 1/2 hardware output (loopback)

In Live:
MADI 1/2 (hardware input) -> Live efx chain -> MADI 3/4

In TotalMIX:
MADI 3/4 (software playback) -> MADI 3/4 hardware output (loopback)

In PT:
MADI 3/4 (hardware input) -> External FX 1 return


Problem is that i'm getting a 0.5sec delay between the source track in PT and it's processed return..
Anyone could help a hand with this?

Re: Loopback delay between DAWs

Loopback can not remove the basic latency on record and playback side, which you run through two times here. Other than trying to work at smaller buffer/latency settings there is no way around it.

I see.. sounds pretty logic yes.
Will have to do it through bouncing from PT and importing into Live.
Thanks for your time!
