| Thanks for the compliments :) It is possible to list the latency of every track and compare them. But that would be very CPU intensive, and I could see that also hurting the simplicity of the interface. What Ardoise does is that It calculates the latency of each device of the selected track, updating each 2 seconds. That would mean constantly scanning for any change inside Live. That would also mean getting this ??undo history bug?? that occurs on a lot of Max devices. You know, when you can?t undo? Overall I think It?s possible but It should be optimized with actual code, and in a bigger interface than the Live devices chain can offer. |

| @lostmybass Thank you for the comprehensive reply. Then it appears what I'm asking for would be a different (but complementary) device, where the primary focus would be to summarize all track latencies in a sortable order so we don't have to go checking each one ? the value of those quickly becomes apparent if you have many tracks and racks, and you added a high-latency plugin (i.e., some noise reducers, FFT effects, etc.) and don't remember where. And maybe this summary could be activated by clicking a refresh button, so it doesn't flood the Live Undo buffer (I'm familiar with that). After all, the track with the most latency affects all the others. I wonder who else would find this useful Related: https://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?t=244846 |
| I would totally find that useful. To be fair, I usually make devices per group. One essential, simple and easy to use. And another one more complex/complete but not free. There is already a bigger brother of Ardoise in the make, allowing you to bypass any device of the set by type or name. I added that feature request to the list. The refresh button is a good idea. I have the undo history issue with one of my devices currently. It won?t be tomorrow tho :) |

Have you thought about some way to show ALL devices listed in descending (or otherwise sortable) order of latency? Seems like it'd be useful to get a list view of laggy tracks.
