"To anyone searching for a tight sync between Ableton Live & Tempest if you own an iOS device with the free Midi Link Sync app and this adapter http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MK0W2AM/A/lightning-to-usb-3-camera-adapter
you can have a very tight sync using Ableton's Link feature ;) "

The above method is excellent cause you can use Tempest as the master and even if you make drastic changes in tempo Live follows instantly..

Post by: channelite on February 08, 2017, 06:33:44 PM: Also sync improves when there is hardware monitoring. Monitoring through a mixer opposed to monitoring thorugh an audio interface and DAW. I got a pretty tight sync in Live this way and also adjusting midi clock sync delay in the preferences. Id record the tempest metranome and then ajust the sync delay. I got it tight, but then it would kinda drift out of sync after a couple of mintues. I like ableton link, but it doesnt always work for me. I think if the router has a lot of traffic that messes it up. Ive also done the adhoc network, but sometimes it doesnt work either.

Post by: Shanesplanet on February 18, 2017, 07:01:47 PM: +1 for tight clock in Live with win7 64 via usb. Wifi and link has its own added latencies, so I don't bother when it matters. It swings less than +-.5 bpm each way, and thats damn good for analog gear on a latent windows setup. Maybe not perfect tight, but definitely (as a drummer) close enough to not be thrown about on it. Processing latency is usually worse. THis coming from a fan of NOT using quantatize much.

Post by: tainsus on March 08, 2017, 05:55:24 AM: Works like a charm with Logic X and a motu Track 16. My advice, buy a cheap Berhinger ADAT to get all the separate outputs for extra daw treatment after ; )
