The above image shows an audio pulse in the Ableton Clip window sent by Silent Way through the
audio output and recorded back into a track in Ableton. Notice the silence at the start of the region,
this is the delay Ableton has not automatically compensated internally. Measuring the exact number
of samples of silence is the best method for compensation. Unfortunately, Ableton lacks the ability
to use samples as a unit, so this clip was sent to an external editor (Adobe Audition) to measure. In
this case, the number of samples measured 446.
The following image shows the Ableton Live Preferences with the sample delay applied. The audio
window below shows a new recording after applying the delay value - no more delay!
In some cases the DAW might not have these settings or they might not be applied properly. Audio
will have to be manually moved in the timeline for sync in such circumstance.
