Recorded audio in Auria out of sync

Just tried adding an iM1 bassline track to Auria via Audiobus. All fine and in time while recording, but on playback the new track is out of sync to the Auria rhythm track I was playing along to.
I've attempted this a few times now and it's always out if sync. Does Auria impose any type of quantisation or snapping when recording (I've checked and these aren't enabled), or is this yet another oddity related to my (soon to be given up on) setup?
Can anyone else replicate this?
Thanks

Haven't used Auria much - but I seem to recall watching a youtube video where a guy recorded something into Auria - then went in and nudged the wave to the left a few micro seconds. Maybe it's a latency thing? Is your recording just slightly off time?
I'm sure someone else can provide a better explanation - just my 2 cents
There's a thread over at the Auria forum alerting the dev to this. I'm guessing it's a combination of which app is being audiobussed and whether you have Audiobus mode on in Auria's settings. Also perhaps the latency offset isn't active. I've not had this problem on the iPad Air, but also use different apps than some.
Thanks for the reply - yeah sounds like the same issue.
Normally though, I notice latency (on the PC) when I'm recording - so the note sounds a few milliseconds after I play it. With the iPad/Auria setup everything's in time while recording, but way off when I play back.
I tried using the screen keyboard to rule out MIDI keyboard latency but it didn't make any difference. I'll have to test it using IAA, maybe Audiobus is the culprit, but it sounds more like Auria isn't recording it quickly enough.
MIDI data takes so little space there's little to no chance of MIDI experiencing latency unless there's a traffic jam in the "sound generating" app itself. I think this is just one or two synth's showing these symptoms. Maybe heavy hitters as far as CPU is concerned. Not sure, but let us know if you find any clues.
Hmmm...yeah could be iM1's a bit of a resource hog, as I recorded some iFretless a few weeks back and that was fine.
@monzo Are you using an external audio interface, headphones, or iPad internal speaker? I have a feeling these each cause slight differences with audible latency, but I'm not too sure how that might affect your setup.
Thanks for the reply - just using apple earphones.
I tried again with IAA and it worked perfectly. Did a couple of tracks, brilliant, then suddenly all the audio vanished. Rebooted the app, still silent. Tried other apps, fine. Tried other songs in Auria, fine. Reloaded the song....silent.
This is a typical nights music making on the iPad for me - 10 minutes playing, 50 minutes trying to work out problems.
More cider Mister Monzo, I sense you're close to existential breakdown territory...
It's always the same culprits, Auria and Audiobus. When I'm jamming, apps have to be loaded twice to get them to work in an AB chain (Tonestack and FLUX are persistent offenders), and if I try and record anything 80% of the time is spent fannying around with Auria
Just finishes off the perfect day really.
Whoah.
Make sure all the knives are put away. Have someone else do it.
The heat is the force-multiplier, the trouble is you have a lot of things being multiplied. A thousand years ago when I lived in a rough flat in London and things would get too hot I would run a cold bath and sit on the edge with my feet in the water. At least up to the ankles. Cools the blood. Some nights three or four of us skivers and junkies and general weirdos would be squashed in there, sat in our shorts, until we could finally laugh a little. I don't miss those days.
Ice cubes in a tea-towel at the neck also work, but the best medicine is tomorrow.
And sack the client.
Can't sack him, he's already paid. I'm taking the day off tomorrow to escape the drills though. No iPad, no getting wound up by the 'draft saved' messages, no noise, no smell of shiDRAFT SAVED 23:08
When it all got too much for me, I took a break from it all and did scales for six months. It can really concentrate the mind. Plus my playing improved no end. Grab yourself a day off and drive to the country. Splendid isolation. Just get yourself away from that situation.
When I record audio with BM2 I'm more surprised when it's IN sync.
