timing off when I record

Cubase
#1

I have the click metronome set at 2 bars so that I can be cormfortable when ju,ping in on tracks. The problem is that I have to wait an extra second or bar after the 2 bars to get a clean record. ANd when I do that the timing is off.

WHen I play a note as soon as the 2 bars are finished, the notes are mixed in with previous notes from a differnet track and the program doesn’t record it.

How am I suppose to get a clean record? Can somebody help me out?

Thanks,

Is this MIDI or Audio?

Midi

Is this Windows or Mac?

If Windows, it’s the old system timer problem with Windows:

If Mac, I have no glue.
