Logic Pro 11 Recording Delay: Is This a Known Issue?
Hi everyone,
I’ve run into a strange problem in Logic Pro 11 and I’m hoping someone can help me understand what’s going on.
I noticed that whenever I record anything in Logic, the timing feels off — but I know my playing isn’t that bad. To double-check, I ran the same test in Pro Tools, and the results were noticeably more accurate.
I set up a test.
- Created a track with recorded click
- routed the click track to line out
- physically plugged the line out back into input 1
- recorded the signal
In Logic, the recorded click lands late — in some sessions even by 187 samples at 48kHz, which is roughly 3–4ms.
In comparison, Pro Tools recorded the same test perfectly aligned every time, even in large sessions full of plugins.
In logic:
- no plugins on the master
- low latency monitoring enabled
- tried different buffer sizes and different versions of logic (11.2 and 11.2.2
- signal always records late
Anyone stumbled onto this problem?
Thank you all in advance
