Cubase 6...Overlapping Parts!

Hello,

All answers are welcomed and appreciated. Thanks in advance to all. Here’s my questions:

(1)Why are there overlapping parts in Cubase 6? (2)Why do parts under overlapping parts disappear sometimes and become shorter? How can this behavior be changed to act like Cubase 5…no overlaps, just recorded parts? (3)How do i get midi timing right on? i use the M-Audio MidiSport 2x2 (not the anniversary model) with latest drivers. Have ticked and unticked the selections for using system timestamp and such. It just won’t get right on for some reason. i really don’t want to have to re-install, but if needed i will. Hope these questions are understandable. Thanks again. :unamused:
