LOGIC AUDIO LIMITER MESSES UP SYNC

Ive been using the audio limiter as was suggested by Larry Jordan. Sometimes it throws off the audio and video sync of the clip. when i remove the limiter it syncs back up. Any ideas?

The lookahead parameter on the limiter introduces latency. It's often used to so the plugin has time to respond to fast moving loud transients.

It sounds to me that the latency is automatically compensated for by FCPX. As you edit it may shake things up s bit but then Final Cut seems to bring anything back into line. This kind of thing can happen in Logic too. It's nothing to be concerned about as long as FCPX syncs everything back up.

If it does become a problem for you the other alternative is to set the lookahead to 0ms. It should still function quite well, but it may miss the odd transient. This is no biggie provided you don't see your main output clip. That's indicated by the clip lights on the audio meters.

thanks simon. i'll try setting the look ahead to ohms. I'll report back.
