A look at how to eliminate timing issues such as latency and jitter when using hardware with a DAW.

The solution in the video is to use Sync Gen 3LX from Innerclock Systems that sorts out your dodgy midi clocks, din sync and analogue clocks for step sequencers.

Disclosure: Innerclock Systems sent me the units a year or so ago, but haven't ever asked for a video, instead it was viewers and patrons who wanted to know how to solve these issues and this is the way that I do it. However, as the units were given to me, I've flagged the video as including "paid promotion" to be transparent.
