Yes, hardware routing between applications is ideal in many scenarios. The RME DSP Mixer is also usefull in this regard (Mutiface II + D/A A/D ADAT interface) , however, either I have yet to learn how to use it properly or I am limited for inter-application routing as I am using most of my I/o for hardware interfacing. Will have to find a chance to have a more in depth look at this.
Hello You wrote this a long time ago, but I have questions about RME, the routing in order to connect Usine and Ableton Live. Until now, I used Output Adat 5-6 from Usine to enter in Ableton, and Output Adat 3-4 from Ableton to enter in Usine. It' was ok. The problem was just that I wanted an Output more from Usine to Ableton, and with Adat 7-8 or Adat Spdif 1-2, nothing happened. Would you know why? and how to do? The other problem today is that now the RME doesn't communicate anymore by Adat. I should replace this way by the analogic I/O (which are not always free). Would you know this problem and how to do? Thank you so much Gwennaelle

This is about the only A/V-soft I encountered that doesn't work with Jack. Is this on a to do list? or can I do something to get it on a 'fixlist'?

My previous post will explain all about syncing Ableton and Usine Hollyhock. What I forgot to mention is that with Ableton as the master it also send the transport control by midi and Usine will start and stop as soon as you start or stop Ableton.

Giv Sync Master - from Moon Safari in the addons section had a great patch that actually helped me get on track better with Sync issues. It has a variable BPM calculation that shifts back and forth centered around the incoming clock, but does not drift over time.
I did modify his script with an alignment "fudge-factor". This helps keep the latency between the two applications dead-on. It works very well, and I use an input and scope to align the other audio source up to find the offset between the two. Once aligned it's almost a dead-on calibration and seems to stay really close.
Hopefully in awhile Ill upload my modification to the add-ons to share, but at the moment I need to make some tweaks.

I set usine to receive the midi clock from Ableton and I was amazed of how solid the sync was. I made a comparison with Audiomulch (which I also bought a while ago) and where Audiomulch was constantly struggling to follow Ableton's clock, Usine was spot on and took only a second to get back ion sync with the clock from Ableton.
The sync was actually perfect. Today I will do some more tests with several plugins, instruments, etc. loaded up and see how this goes.
Oh by the way I did this on a Macbook Pro late 2012 with 16gb ram and 500gb HD. Also I didn't use the IAC bus, but ipMIDI, which can be downloaded for free (just google it).

@sephult Yes I could do that, sure. But I would like to see it e.g. in the device indicator. So if "sync" is an integrated function of a device in the new Holyhock version, it would be nice, Usine shows a "'I'm working on sync indicator" This can't be managed by a patch. Cause only Usine "itself" has knowledge about it's internal states. Only a nice to have and helpful to detect problems on stage 2 minutes before the show
