Any chance you can do a new video on hooking up Ableton with Synfire Pro? I'm having problems with syncing it seems to be lagging and hit-and-miss with playback. I've followed the video and advice with no joy.
Has anyone got the connection between the two working properly ? It's such a pain not being able to syncing the two together for workflow I need.
thanks in advance

Thanks for reply, Yes I've seen that page and been through the process about 15 times.
I would love to know if its possible to get both synced up so it's reliable, it seems so hit and miss and yes I have followed the Abelton sync page many times as I said before !
If someone has connected without problems please let me know :-)

Thank you Ryland for the support but until I see a video with Abelton and Synfire connected I don't believe it works fluently I'm not new to connecting software, for some reason the guys help with all other problems but when it comes to connecting to a daw they cant even be bothered to make a small video. The page they have on here is outdated (Synfire/Abelton).
Thank you so much for reaching out though I appreciate it :-)

Yeah, I get you janamdo. Synfire is an amazing program for sure. BUT using them drones is a nightmare always starting and stopping, out of time than in time.
One of the problems is that Synfire doesn't support audio which is a pain because I record live drum breaks and try and stay away from making drums in midi. Which means I can't transfer the audio into Synfire.
I tend to build projects starting from drums and fitting all other elements to the drums as I go along.
And like I said them drones are to unstable in my experience.

Drones had issues with dangling notes and bad timing. This may be especially pronounced with Live. The data streaming is designed to automatically adjust itself to the DAW's response times. Somehow this didn't work well in this case.
I spent the day investigating and fixing this. Next build/update will feel much smoother and more responsive.

I did a few projects with Drones some time ago (vocals & drums in a DAW). Sometimes there was a bit of a lag when editing figures but otherwise a smooth experience. The chaos I heard yesterday after moving a bigger project over to Drones in Live was a shock. I'm glad it exposed the issues in a way that helped fixing them.
