Track Timing issue

VST Live
1

I’ve bumped into the situation where tracks that were timed perfectly in Cubase 12 are late by maybe 500ms when imported into VST Live. Here’s a rough background:

  1. The project has 7 tracks:
    a.) One vocal
    b.) One guitar
    c.) One Lead guitar
    d) One audio click generated by Cubase: Project-> Signature Track → Render Audio Click between locators.
    e.)A tempo track with variable tempo values (created with Project → Tempo Detection)
    f.) A signature track, in this case one entry of 4/4
    g.) A Marker track which holds the lyrics to the song.
    The guitar solo starts in bar 66 and is in perfect sync with the rest of the song in Cubase. When I export using File → VST Live → Export Media Project then import it into Live, the solo is no longer in time. This behavior is consistent if I import the song into a new or existing project.
    I realize that will be difficult to reproduce in your lab environment, I’ll attach the
    test.vlsprj.zip (3.4 KB)
    project file if that helps. Please let me know what else I can supply to help narrow this one down.

… quick question. Are you running any plug-ins on your audio tracks? Which one? Do they have latency?

Hi Michael,

Nope - no plugins at all (in either Cubase or Live) - all my audio is “dry”

… Ok. Can you give me your cpr file? I don’t need the media, just the Cubase project file.

… @ericwentz, a PM is on its way. Let’s continue offline for the moment. We’ll return to the topic, when we know more about the problem.
