Hardware options for Pro Tools LE and M-Powered systems
early to compensate for the latency. This o set is made in such a way that it
just a ects the playback – not the way the MIDI data is displayed in the Edit
window. You are given the choice of o setting the MIDI tracks either globally
(all by the same amount) or individually. To compensate for audio monitoring
latency you will need to enter a negative o set that causes the MIDI data to
be played back earlier by a number of samples equivalent to the latency in
samples. The best way to work out which latency value to use is to record
the audio from your MIDI device into Pro Tools then simply look at the exact
position in samples where the audio starts compared to where the MIDI note is
placed. This way you can read o the delay between these exactly in samples.
TIP
You can also set up Individual MIDI Track Offsets in Pro Tools LE. This
can be useful when you want to compensate for the time it takes for a
particular synth or sampler to respond to an incoming MIDI message.
This can amount to several milliseconds, and this can be enough to make
supposedly simultaneous percussive instruments sound like they are
‘ amming’. This is typically the case with a snare drum sample played from
Pro Tools as audio that you want to combine with another snare sample
played from an external MIDI sampler. The solution here is to o set the
individual MIDI track in Pro Tools to compensate for the delay in the MIDI
sampler.
The Digi 002
Resembling a typical small digital mixer, the Digi 002 actually combines the
features of a high-quality audio interface, a MIDI interface, a touch-sensitive
control surface, and a stand-alone digital mixer, all in one unit. Connecting
to your computer through a single FireWire connection, Digi 002 pairs Pro
Tools LE software with a dedicated control surface for hands-on control of the
software.
Audio and MIDI data are passed back and forth between your computer and
the Digi 002 via the FireWire cable along with control information generated
by or returned to the Digi 002 control surface. Any moves you make using the
Pro Tools software on the computer screen will be re ected on the control
surface – and vice versa.
At the push of a button, the Digi 002 unit can be switched into Standalone
mode to become an 8 × 2 digital mixer, complete with two internal and two
external e ects sends, EQ, dynamics, e ects, reverb, and automation snapshots.
