Timeline/Ableton/Midi Question

[BandofGold]

I have created clicks, backing tracks, and midi triggers with Showxpress timeline and Ableton and a lot of the time, it syncs perfectly but sometimes there is a lag while the timeline loads the song. When this happens, light cues run a little behind. Is there a better way? I have been using these steps:

1. In Ableton, I import wav file, record cues, a click track, and back tracks (hand claps, etc.)
2. Export wav file from Ableton and import it into timeline
3. Create light show in timeline and set up a flash midi trigger for timeline
4. Delete wav file from timeline and ableton
5. Insert midi trigger in Ableton

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you in advance!

What order of magnitude for this lag ?
