Just a note for this video. It doesn’t get rid of latency completely but it will definitely help you with your timing and quantization issues. When you know you recorded on the downbeat and yet you still find that you have to slide things around to be on time. This will FIX that!
Thank you very much for this video. I've been trying to find a simple step-by-step explanation of this procedure geared towards a Studio One newbie and this is the most detailed, thoughtful explanation I've found. I initially watched the Presonus video with Gregor explaining the test and offset, but it turned out to be almost useless because he explained it so quickly and left out details which I guess he "assumed" we already knew....I didn't.
I own a Presonus Studiolive 24R and have been working on recording drums. I can set my buffer to 16, which is the lowest it can go. I would listen back to the 8 tracks and notice something is way off. I'm pretty sure this technique will solve my sync issues. Thank you for sharing this information. It is probably more important than the latency issue all together. -Adam Wisdom
Adam Wisdom it’s a real game changer for me. I would record a track and have a listen back and think... OMG my timing is terrible... then re-do and re-try with the same results. This became very frustrating because I was sure I was hitting the down beat on the 1 and this made editing and mixing a complete nightmare because everything that I tracked had to be slid around. I had been recording myself like this for years. Once I found out how to use “record offset” and what it was actually meant for it was a complete game changer and I thought I had better post a video about it because surely I am not the only one who is encountering this issue. So happy that this helped you Adam!
For anyone who references this video or similars by MH or GBY. I messed with these procedures today. I had a hard time getting the interface loop enabled but figured it out and set the Record Offset. On to the Midi Offset, it took me a head scratch or two but upon turning Input Quantize OFF I was able to successfully add a working Midi Offset. Just sharing, maybe save someone else a bit of time/ frustration.
thank you so much for this! I watched Presonus’ video tutorial on how to get rid of the latency and attempted to download their wave sine file, but my daw wouldn’t have the sound available when I put it in the system! this video is going to help a ton! thanks a million x
Thanks, I will definitely try this. I have a Studio 1824C interface. I don't have a lot of latency when I start tracking the first track (44.1 and 32 buffersize with dropout protection set to low) but the latency builds up while adding tracks (and plugins). When starting it's usually 0.2 ms, so that's almost nothing (without green Z enabled). But when I'm adding the 4th or 5th track and have some basic plugins like reverb or delay, EQ and compression, than the latency builds up and I have the enable low latency with the green Z button. But I don't think setting the offset with a loop will fix this, right?
Your track 2 is recording late in both cases. Because the audio track is above the Rec track and the Midi track is below the Rec track it only appears that one time is recording late and the second time is recording ahead, but that is not true. If you look, The rec track (2) records the Bass from audio track (1) late, - the waveform of the rec track (2) is to the right of the waveform of the audio track (1) before adding the record offset. In Midi's case, your rec track (2) is also recording late, NOT ahead, -its waveform is also to the right of the Midi track (3). So why is this working that in one case you put a negative number and in the midi case a positive number does not make logical sense. Can you explain that, please? Also, I wasn't able to get the midi to work bang on. The best I got was .001 latency. Thanks in advance!

Greg Nott - Thanks for the comment and your support!
Software is amaterish.

Hi James
All depends how you peel the banana.
