hi,

im trying to record audio from my e5000 ultra, as it is being triggered from logic, but i keep getting errors, the beat is not hitting on time when i try record.

it is happening on anything i try to record, all done separately too...

i have checked out all the settings and cannot suss it, emu's clock is set to external etc, logic internal, every hit once in a while will be just off, and it needs to b on!

pain in the ass

sum1 plse help asap!

Simon

Leave the sampler's clock on "internal" and the card to "internal". See what the latency is from Logic and adjust pre--roll to suit. Like this: Have a wav file hard quantised to a beat (like a hat sound), trigger the same sound from the sampler (sequenced to trigger at same time as hat hit in sequencer), record into SForge/Wavelab whatever (each coming in on a different mono channel) so you can see the latency in samples when you xamine the wav/aiff files against each other (I've got about a 180 sample delay from Cubase=180/44100=.00480s and my preroll/midi to audio delay is set at 180 samples). I use Wordclock as the synch source for everything via an MTP-AV btw. Is it drifting or just not tight??

ill try putting the samplers clock to internal...

the sounds arent drifting, just 'missing' the beat by a fraction every so often....

and ill send the 'midi clock' right?
