Logic Pro allows you to circumvent this issue with the External Instrument plug-in: Insert it (as you would insert a software instrument plug-in on instrument channels)
to route the audio outputs of your external MIDI devices to the inputs of your audio hardware—and monitor them through Logic Pro. This enables you to compensate for the delays of any audio streams coming from MIDI devices during playback."
I'm not sure if this was already printed in logic pro 7 manual but if they have fixed the external instrument-plugin to support pdc, then it should work. In logic 7 it didn't work, at least for me. |
Thanks for posting that. I doubt the Apple manual writers could have been less vague about this operation... but hey, maybe someone will report a hands-on compensation experience that is so utterly positive and seamless that the above quote reflects a functional-elegance of great profundity.
My hand is on my hat. I'm ready to take it off and wave.
