Hello,

I thought I would share this work-around I use in my live set.

I found that audio input has a latency of about 16ms compared with audio coming internally from the MPC.
Enough to be noticeable for me.

To compensate I send the audio input direct to the main outs.
All internal MPC programs get sent to a sub mix 1 with an Akai stereo delay inserted in the channel.
setting 16ms, 100% wet, no feedback.

This pulls it all back together.

send effects have to be routed in the same way, except of course any you are sending the audio input to.

I guess this would not be so good if you play the pads live, but I don't use it like that.

Hope this helps someone.

Cheers,
