SB support contacted me yesterday to say they are investigating this. They think it may be something to do with the UAD cards that seem to be common to users reporting the problem.
In the mean time, could I ask that if you think you have NO midi timing problems, to please take this test (thanks xtigma again for this). Maybe you think you have no problems, but my guess is that actually we ALL have this problem, it’s just a matter of degree and most folks don’t notice it because of the small buffer sizes they usually use…
- Set your buffer size to something “noticable”, eg 1024 samples
- Create an empty project, and add the “Groove Agent One” VSTi and associated MIDI track. Load one of the preset kits (you sill need a sound with a fast attack)
- add a group channel
- route “Groove Agent” VSTi output to group channel
- add an audio track
- set inputs of audio track to be the group channel
- enable record on the audio track and on Groove Agent MIDI track
- start recording
- play a single note. this should record on the MIDI and audio tracks simultaneously
- stop recording
- zoom in to see the waveform / midi
Is recorded MIDI note significantly earlier than the recorded audio from the VSTi ?
Thanks
