LATENCY

Latency Calibration

Compensate for the delay between your playing and performance judgments before Training Mode.

Calibration workflow

Use Auto Calibrate to measure input latency, then check the judgments in Training Mode. Use Training Timing Adjust only when fine-tuning is needed.

What each setting does

SettingPurpose
Input LatencyThe physical delay introduced by your input device, driver, and signal path. Auto Calibrate sets this value, which is shared by AI Transcriber and Training Mode.
Training Timing AdjustAdditional compensation used only by Training Mode. Use it if judgments still consistently lean in one direction after Auto Calibrate.

Find the settings

Input Latency, Auto Calibrate, and Training Timing Adjust in the Training Mode settings tab
Latency values vary by environment. You do not need to copy the 50 ms values shown in this example.
  1. 1
    Training Mode tab

    Open Settings and select the Training Mode tab.

  2. 2
    Input Latency and Auto Calibrate

    Automatically measure delay from the input device, driver, and signal path.

  3. 3
    Training Timing Adjust

    Fine-tune this only if judgments still lean toward Early or Late after Auto Calibrate.

Before you begin

  • Configure the input device you intend to use
  • Use your normal signal path and playing volume
  • Work in a quiet environment so that only the guitar is detected

Steps

  1. 01

    Start Auto Calibrate

    Open the Training Mode tab in Settings, then run Auto Calibrate under INPUT AUDIO CONFIG.

  2. 02

    Play with the guide

    Listen to the count and play the 12th fret of the first string on beat five. When measurement finishes, Input Latency is set automatically.

  3. 03

    Check in Training Mode

    Start Training Mode, play several notes, and check whether judgments consistently lean toward Early or Late.

  4. 04

    Fine-tune only if needed

    If Late appears frequently, increase Training Timing Adjust. If Early appears frequently, decrease it. Start with changes of 5–10 ms.

  5. 05

    Restart playback and check again

    After changing the setting, stop and restart playback, then play the same passage again to confirm the result.

When to recalibrate

Run Auto Calibrate again after changing the input device, ASIO®/Standard mode, driver buffer size, or signal path.
