Latency adjustment/Custom track offset parameter
planned
ultracello
Sometimes in loop playback and record over higher latency audio settings (for example online, over Bluetooth, or via hardware setup that requires more compute) there will be a time offset, often in the form of a delay that would need to be compensated.
It would be really great to be able to apply this negative (-) offset, and perhaps have the same offset easily applied in several loops (for example recalls the last entered offset value as a first suggested offset when enabled).
Often the offset required will be the same given for each system setup. Much easier than trying to use the sliders each time, and also having them reset when the tracks are reloaded.

What about automatically just simply adding a certain amount (i.e. could be decided per input) of faded silence at the end of the loop, and cut the same amount from the beginning? [if one doesn't care about odd aesthetic results, nor about monitored latency]

Be able to adjust the playback of clips a little earlier due to latency.

This will be implemented as a slider in the system settings screen which allows you to manually tweak the latency compensation

Michael Tyson The best way would be a per channel latency compensation. But a start point marker at loop range would be also nice.

Michael Tyson that would be great, especially for hardware interfaces with internal dsp that generate some latency (e.g. Yamaha THR II). For now i'm manually offsetting each loop with teo fingers and rotating the clip after recording, which is inaccurate and not practical. A quick fix might also be to add the offset in miliseconds as clip parameter, so a follow action for recorded clips could be defined. Thank you so much!

My suggestion is to have two independent settings: automatically latency compensation PLUS an extra offset setting for further configuration.

What about automatic latency compensation? I imagine something where Loopy Pro automatically shifts a recorded layer (either first recording, or an overdub) when it reaches the end of the loop. This way one could theoretically achieve zero latency in conjunction with an audio interface that supports direct monitoring.
