I’m having problems recording through a VSTi such as the Halion bundled with Cubase LE4. I’ve tried another VSTi (GSi VB3) and experienced the same problem.
I’m using Cubase LE4 (latest version) with a TC Electronic Desktop Konnekt 6 interface, and I’m recording using a guitar synth.
I first noticed the problem after I had laid down a drum track and then played a piano part on top. While I was tracking I could monitor the drum track and what I was playing on the ‘piano’ without any issues. However, when I played back the two tracks together, they were totally out of time with each other.
I’ve down a wee bit more testing, and I’ve tried changing some settings, but not had any success yet.
What I’ve seen is that when tracking, if I play a note at the start of a bar I hear it ‘immediately’, so there’s no problem monitoring when tracking. However, I see that the midi information isn’t written to the track until 1 or 2 beats further down the track. It means that track doesn’t line up with any existing tracks. Audio tacks record without any problems.
It’s probably (hopefully!) a simple tweak, but as I say I’ve not stumbled upon the fix. Any help would be much appreciated.
I have just run into a similar problem, like i have switched something stupid on and got a MAJOR midi latency when trying to record, even though I am not hearing any latency when playing. I recorded an audio track with no problem but I just went to record a bass part using halion one and its not showing in the track until a few seconds after its being played---- i have never had such a latency in my life, even using none pro gear, this is WAY too much. Audio is recording fine, midi is playing fine -the track meter is in real time with the midi sound coming out but the actual note info isnt getting to the track till much later when i hit record - like a bar and a half after. Is there something stupid I may have done (dont remember doing any changes in the prefs or anything) My gear hasn’t changed, only thing i did recently was update cubase 5.5.3 build 651 - but it seems this has just kicked in now as I didnt notice it before. Does anyone have any idea? EMU1616m - intel core duo 5600 - 2gb ram…done tonnes of glitch free recording on this up till now.
EMU ASIO selected… I may have sorted it though I don’t know why…I changed from my normal 4ms to a long latency (100ms) in the EMU control panel and back to my normal 4ms and it seems to have cleared - bizzare but its working ok for now…I’ll never understand how these random glitches can so uspset the day and the workflow…thanks for the quick read ad response BTW.
