Recorded MIDI too early when played back

Cubase
1

Okay, I have been having this problem for many years and never found a solution for it. When I record MIDI (Groove Agent etc), it sounds great when I hear the sound being monitored. But when I play it back it sounds completely off and the recorded notes are placed to early. While testing this problem again today I even noticed that the midi notes get placed earlier and earlier as the recording proceeds.

Being a Cubase user for over 2 decades I have always took this for granted. Learning a new DAW never was an option as I kept releasing music on a regular. But ever since Cubase 12 I am experiencing so many crashes and bugs that I am seriously considering taking a break and learn a new DAW that is more steady and doesn’t have this stupid MIDI problem.

From what I read online is that this problem has been around for many year, Steinberg is aware but just can’t (or won’t) fix it.

So my big question is, why does Cubase record MIDI notes too early and how can this be fixed.

same here. And you no the worst part? I searched the whole internet, for months. Never found anything. And then I found it, by myself. I solved it, everything was playing smoothly as it should.

And today, it came back. And I don’t remember what was the solution. I am demolished, I searched for months to solve it.

Have you by any chance figured it out?

thank you!
