Im recording on bandlab with a Headset. and i been using it normal, monitoring and everthing was on beat no delay but today i was recording monitoring on everthing on beat but then i played it back and it was off beat, the vocals was delayed and i don't know what to do cuz is not my Headset cuz it worked before all the time, banlab Support tellin me the same stuff that don't work Do u got a soloustion?
@heezy_wavy8966 Latency can change on a computer and is normally caused by other services running on your computer. Web browsers are a heavy problem, so only have the one Web browser window open (for bandlab). Close any other apps running on your computer and Windows can randomly start background services (like software update checks) in the background. To keep things stable, I open a bandlab project, then turn off my Internet (until I need to add any fx, virtual instruments or save my project) and use an audio interface.
@anurazmusic2200 When you run the test, the latency is recorded by bandlab and audio recordings are then adjusted, after recording, so they line up with the metronome and any midi tracks. This is called fixing latency or latency compensation. Physically reducing latency is done by using better hardware and drivers... However, the Internet browser itself has its own constraints, so changing hardware and drivers may not reduce latency by much (if at all).
@slaym66 Hi, if you put your microphone right in front of your PC speaker, the test should work. The setting though may not be completely accurate, as things like other open web pages, open apps and background system processes can easily change the latency of your computer, especially since browsers do not tend to support fast asio drivers. If the test still doesn't work with the microphone right in front of your PC speaker, then either your microphone is not working, is not the currently selected microphone in BandLab or has not been correctly setup on the computers audio settings.
@R3XoXo software monitoring will always have some latency (software latency plus hardware latency), use the zero latency monitoring on an audio interface instead.
@chamoysans Make sure a microphone has been detected by your computer and is selected in BandLab. Also, make sure speakers have been detected by your computer. On some computers this requires a physical jack in the soundcards speaker output socket to be detected by the computer.
Dude .. pls comment back to me ?? What am I doing wrong man.. I’m literally just not hearing the beeps . I’m using an apollo solo . Nd I’ve unplugged the headphones of course .. the beeps came in 1 time tonight .. I’ve been trying for an hour . Hopped off logic to go to bandlab nd just struggle more :/ . Shits mad discouraging cuz u end up w no good results
I keep my interface plugged in of course, so the mic can pick the beeps up. But they’re not coming thru my laptop speaker. I see the volume raise though, on the interface . Just no sound of the beeps
@uknow9ylan Click on the settings icon, next to the date at the top right of the mac screen, then click on sound... The beeps will be sent to the output device selected in the output section (click on an output to change the output device). If you have an audio interface connected, the beeps are most likely being sent to the audio interface, so you would need speakers connected to the audio interface.
@Mr.Gostgotbeats Hi, the vocal latency fix only affects microphone latency (it moves the vocal recording to the left by the amount of the microphone latency), so if you don't have a microphone you don't need to do the latency fix. The computer/app latency can only be adjusted by changing the soundcard/audio interface buffer size. A smaller buffer size will reduce computer/app latency but may cause the sound to crackle or stop playback altogether.
@martyrea79 Open the sound settings on your computer and check which output your computer is sending the audio (and therefore the clicks) to. If you are using an audio interface, the clicks are most likely being sent to the audio interface, so you would need speakers connected to the audio interface.
i make the latency test on pc and will say its 145 (for example) , then do it again and says its 120, then, after doing it again will show 108, and number keeps switching. My computer is not bad.. but Im guessing is the chrome browser tbh . Any ideas?
@dopeod1 Hi, yes the latency will constantly change due to the processes running on the computer constantly changing their demands on CPU and RAM usage. Google Chrome and anti virus / firewall software tend to be the worst offenders on my computer. Generally, I close any other apps running on my computer (and any other browser windows) and turn off WiFi when recording audio in BandLab. Less than 20ms of deviation typically won't be noticeable in the recording but higher deviations may require re alignment of the audio recording.
@@IbandUK What I did is to sett the buffer size of my audio interface to a lower number. I didn't have an audio interface back in the day, I used to record with my cellphone, then bandlab web. Problem solved!! Thanks
@cupboysha Technically, latency fix does not change the latency, it sets latency compensation... Which means the vocal recording is automatically shifted forward by the amount of latency. Unfortunately, background services (and any other program you have open) can cause the real world latency to change, so the latency fix doesn't always have the desired effect. To get any DAW to run properly on Windows computers, a lot of changes have be made to Windows because of this.
@Fastlifeebreak084 The latency fix test sets the amount of latency compensation used by bandlab... This means it sets how much the audio recordings will be moved forward by when recording. It has no effect on already recorded audio tracks or the Echo effect caused by latency when monitoring an audio track.
@DylanSellers-bj9dx You need an audio interface that has Direct Monitoring (the audio interface sends a copy of the microphone input to the audio interface amp then back to your headphones, without going through the computer, so you hear your voice with pretty much no latency. This of course means you won't hear any fx you have added to the vocal track but then the fx themselves add latency...
@@DylanSellers-bj9dxi found the sloution for headphones bro i just did it, plug in ur headphones turn the volume all the way up, and just put the headphone right over the mic so that it can here the clicks when u run the latency test, it worked for me

it is just a test tell how to reduce that

I've tried everything, bit ot still says the test was unsuccessful. What do i do?
Hey what about If it’s not working even doing this

any chance you figured it out? I am having trouble even after doing the latency test over and over.
Same
What if your pc doesn’t comes with speakers ??
@@wbafam0usglo4akabigglo88it’s from the computer speakers
I need help figuring out how to fix latency when monitoring is enabled
@R3XoXo

the latency test is grayed out, how do i not make it grayed out?

Usually there is a headphones socket, so you could try headphones.
