Delay during recording/playback

The attack while either recording or playback of wind instruments is slightly delayed.

Are we talking about string sounds here, where some sound sets traditionally use a slow attack for smooth (pad-like) transitions?

Yes. And wind instruments as well. I just wanna turn it off. So I can get a more precise attack.

I don’t think the “fade-in” is a programmed effect that one can turn off in some sound sets. The fade-in may be part of the sound actually recorded in the first place, in which case one would have to find another sound set with a harder attack or advance the playback, which may not be easy to do in Dorico as opposed to a DAW.

What do you use?
