Midi timing suggestion on recorded VST instruments.

Yes, asked and answered. It could work, but it would create other potential issues when the instrument used to record the original track was changed or the total PDC of the project was changed later.

  1. Midi timing problem one: the notes are always recorded early to what some people think they should be, but to others properly when the effect of audio latency and PDC are taken into account.

  2. Midi timing problem two: recorded midi notes show variability of relative placement on the grid, independent of all appearing early. A true problem, difficult to trouble shoot between midi keyboard behavior, midi connection behavior through USB or an Audio Interface with standard midi cable connections and the sequencer behavior. The only way to tell would be to use the identical first two components (Yes, Dorothy, there is variability even between identical units produced by the same manufacturer.), recorded into different DAWs and then compare the recorded data.

  3. If you confuse the two issues, you will never sort things out.

BTW, has anyone … which I have not … taken the time to see if this outcome of early recorded midi data is different in any other DAW?
