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:
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.

@Spork - Hi Michael, I’ve run into another project with timing issues. I’m using the 1.1.65 build. Similar to the other one where the click and music are timed up perfectly in Cubase, but when I perform the Cubase VL export then pull the file into VL the audio tracks are shifted backwards by a bit. One very subtle visual cue that I just noticed is that the tracks appear to shift when the project window displays the song name in the setlist column. I’m going to PM you a link to a zip file which contains my entire Cubase and VSL project files. As always, I’ll supply any additional information that you may need. -e
One more thing I just noticed. If I export un-edited tracks from Cubase, the timing works just fine. Many times, I’ll remove the first couple bars of audio (scissors & erase) in Cubase to remove some some introductory stuff I don’t want. These tracks are the ones with the timing issues. So, to reproduce:
In cubase, remove something from the front of an audio track
