Midi timing suggestion on recorded VST instruments.

This thread is getting confusing because different problems are adressed but I want to stick with the original one.

Joel the OP wrote: And this is the part I am interested in:

When recording on a VST instrument’s track, Cubase
should move the timing of notes forward - equal amount of ms as is the
current output latency. This to give the player and the recorded take justice.

AFAIK, this would explain why midi notes appear earlier in the editor.
This also points out that mididrivers, sytem timestamp, hardware configuration are irrelevant in this scenario.

In my case, I have this behaviour since I start working with VST instruments.
When I used a Korg Triton as sound generator the midi was always in place.
Nowadays I solely work with softsynths.

All I want to know is if Joel has a point or not.
Arguing about midi hardware clutters up this important thread.
