Helpful. One analogy would be the queue at airport security...buffer size is the capacity of the queue, sample rate is the speed at which each new person is available to enter the queue.
Great post! Thank so much for this. I knew about setting the buffer size and how that affects latency, but did not know about the connection to the frequency setting to get lower latency. Totally makes sense.
Thank you sir. You're the first person I have found that gave me the solution to my problem. I have subscribed. I am new to audio recording. I just got my Mac Studio and was like WTF!! lol this thing should be able to handle this.... So thank you again. Eager to learn what you can teach. :)
I am using a significantly under-powered mac mini and need all the help I can get with latency issues. One other tool in the Logic Pro X tool chest in this area is the "Freeze track" feature. This feature renders each track you want frozen to an HD audio file which plays in place of its corresponding track in Logic. So when a track is close to where it needs to be you freeze the track which captures the resultant music content including the affects of any plug ins, etc. But there are no longer any compute intensive operations for that track. In fact the entire project independent of track count, if all tracks were frozen the load on the CPU is solely that of rendering an HD audio file. All the automation is still in play so you can mix with everything frozen. When you come to an area in the mix that requires an edit of more than the automation I would first identify the area in the timeline, unfreeze the track I want to tweak, and now the CPU is only burdened with the one track that I chose to edit. I could just get a faster computer, but I kind of like the challenge of getting around computing shortcomings without spending $$. (Sort of like the challenges that the Abbey Road Studio engineers conquered when making a 64 track Sgt Peppers recording using a 4 track recorder. Necessity always being the mother of invention)
Latency affects me way more than I ever realized. I recently started using Luna, when has virtually zero latency (about 2-3 ms) and my timing and feel in noticeably improved. I more or less abandoned Logic because of this. Now that I know about this trick, I’m going to try this in Locic, since I much prefer its capabilities and workflow.
Hi thanks for the video I have a home studio working with logic I can hear my delays in Logic Pro x 10.5 could not figure out how to change the delay in my recordings now that will help me with my music.
You are complicating it. The setting below buffer (recording delay) will substract the buffersize from the recording. Meaning everything lines up at playback. Set recording delay to -1024 or -512 or lower. Exactly the same value as your buffer. Now that amount of samples is subtracted. Meaning recorded audio lines up sample accurate. Use direct monitoring during recording. And the substraction tool that substracts the 1024 or 512 or 128. And it will playback exact in time.
Thank you so much for the tutorials I am using Logic Pro x and a Motu 828x everything was working fine but recently I have noticed a latency when I play certain instruments, how could that happen ? When I play the 3rd party plugin piano , it gives me a latency but when I play a 3rd party plugin strings, there is much less latency. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
This helps out so much as I’m working with no latency with my Apollo interface. Once I move my project though logic things get weird. I need lower latency. Thanks!!!
My buffer is set at 128 and I have the low latency on but all my sounds are still coming out late. Should I reset my sound card? This just started, I’ve been using Logic Pro for years
It would be strange to have them come out late in low latency mode but perhaps something is wrong with your audio interface. Also make sure there isn’t an issue with your MIDI controller. Perhaps it has a delay.
you might try using the low latency mode, go to Audio Preferences, then General, click on the low latency mode and see if it helps, a description of it is in the Help menu
I usually record electric guitars in Logic but now I do have like a room reverb sound (plug-ins and pedals off) -I’m using an Apollo Twin X- but when I open LUNA to record I don’t have this weird sound. My latency in Logic is low (64) Anyone knows what should I do? Any idea?
@@LogicProLife no bro your good, i REALLY needed this details, you can't skim thru fuckin technical stuff quickly and simply...no one will understand shit, if a student wants to learn trust me break it down the one who doesn't give a shit is on them but for people who really is a beginner like me this video is AMAZING!!!

The drummer recognized Nuendo bases in the Click track sound perhaps?
Turn on the low latency mode button?
There is a low latency mode setting. Simple done

I’ve gotten it down there but there’s still a delay.. does that samples thing need to be at 0? I’m wondering if that’s what’s throwing it off.
Fir me , this is the Best explanation of this , ever. Thank you

Very helpful, as I use a Mac mini and now know the best buffer setting
Thank you so much for the tutorials

Thank you for this very well explained chapter on buffer size etc. Great and clear way of explaining !
The screen flow driver is what put me off v8 and later versions. Latency is horrendous
Yes, it’s astonishing how bad it is!

I just purchased the new M1 Mac Mini. I’ll report back with the buffer performance.
@@elissitdesign Any news on how the M1 behaves with latency?
I leave my buffer set at 32 with only an occasional move to 64… amazing low latency end to end.
no buffer option in g b
My buffer is set at 128 and I have the low latency on but all my sounds are still coming out late. Should I reset my sound card?

Excellent explanation, thanks dude
Sounds logical. 👍🏻
15 minutes just to say that?????
😂 I think you’re right. I guess I was a little too into it this time. 🤷🏻♂️
And that’s it!

Yeah, I call BS on that drummer. Too many variables with hardware to make those claims.
Steve Jordan? lol
