>I have installed an 8channel suround setup in my workshop using the ambisonics externals.

most sound sources are coming from Live Ableton and then via the soundflower are sent to the ambisonics patch in Max.

In Live I have 3 mic sources which are also following the same route.

>the buffer size in Live is set to 128 samples. I use the same i/o and signal vector sizes in Max (preferably).

>The occasional problem is that, after I have started running or playing around with clips and mic sources in live, the mic inputs start getting a gradual delay. same happens with a guitar pluged in live which is also going to the ambisonics patch via soundflower.

Only when I stop the audio running in Max and then start again, the delay comes back to normal, meaning something like 23ms.

I guess this is quite predictable when dealing with rewired apps and buffer size settings.

Worth mentioning that I have not tested jack pilot instead of soundflower.

>My question is if there is a way around this appart from the error and trial testing with buffer sizes.

I would realy appreciate any kind of insight.
