Hello
I recently posted a thread about Cubase 4 not recording MIDI notes (thanks for the reply DintyMoore!) - which is now working - as it was once a while ago. And now that works again I have my old problem (along with half the population of Cubase messageboards it seems) of MIDI latency. Previously, this was intermittent i.e. sometimes I'd fire it up and everything would be fine - other times there'd be latency - but maybe I just haven't got lucky on start up to recreate whatever conditions they were yet.
I've seen countless articles about ignoreportfiler, enableemulated, Windows timestamp etc but no matter what I try, the MIDI note events don't get to Cubase for an unplayable amount of time.
I'm using Cubase 4 on an XP machine with an Alesis i02 USB soundcard although I'm using a separate USB MIDI in as the MIDI input on the Alesis does nothing. I've also just removed all drivers/software along with the hardware for the SB whatever-it-was card that was in my machine. Also, I'm using the Alesis ASIO driver.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
PS how hard is it, given that it's a bit of software that can record and playback multiple audio streams, with multiple real time effects, to parse a stream of 8 bit data in reasonable time for freak's sake?
