How to Measure and Compensate Your Local Latency

With this tool, you can measure the internal latency of your local audio hardware (roundtrip) and compensate for it. This ensures that you can play your instrument in sync with the doozzoo metronome or audio player, enabling the other side to hear both signals in perfect alignment. It also ensures your playing is synchronized when recording with the APP Recorder.

There are two places in doozzoo where you can set the local latency:

1. In the Settings in the dashboard
2. In the running session via Latency App

1. Adjusting Local Latency Compensation in the Settings

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Use Headphones:

   • Ensure you are wearing headphones to avoid feedback.

   • Make sure the headphone volume is not too low.

2. Log In to Your doozzoo Account:

   • Access your account on the doozzoo dashboard.

3. Navigate to Settings:

   • Click on Settings and select Headphone Mode.

4. Recalculate Local Latency Compensation:

   • Go to the Local Latency Compensation section.

   • Click on Recalculate Here.
     
     
     

5.     Perform the Test:

• Hold the headphone cup directly to your active microphone. Avoid wobbling to prevent unwanted noise.

  

  • This process works with both built-in and external microphones.

  • Start the test and wait until you hear the final click. The test will complete automatically.

6.    Save the Latency Value:

• Click the Confirm button to save the calculated latency value.

2. Adjusting Local Latency Compensation in a Current Session

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Access the Latency Tool:

   • During an active session in doozzoo, open the APP (A). Refer to the screenshot below for details.

2. Manual or Automatic Adjustment:

   • You can adjust the latency manually by changing the numerical value (B).

   • Alternatively, measure the latency automatically by selecting the appropriate option (C).

3. Mute Microphones During the Test:

   • Ensure all microphones are muted during the session to prevent noise from the other side from interfering with the measurement.
