bizzare Midi latency Nuendo

[MrNemo]

I have had this problem at my home studio and at my project studio. While monitoring and recording midi tracks, there is no latency. However, when I record a track, sometimes the entire midi track will be recorded like a 16th note off, and I have to select all and move the notes a 16th note over. Sometimes it doesn't do this at all until I've been working on the project for a while, and I just restart Nuendo/Reason. Other times it does it no matter what. This happens on an M-Audio USB keyboard but also on a roland board through an Edirol usb midi cable (two different rigs). It can be very frustrating, especially since the monitoring has almost no latency, and i am monitoring through the software. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Shane

Are you having this problem recording midi streams into both Nuendo and Reason separately?

Or just when they're ReWired together?

You say the problem comes and goes - is it possible that you have the 'quantize on input' function turned on and sometimes it behaves to your advantage and sometimes not?

Hmm nope, it is recording every midi note as played. When I play on the keyboard, everything sounds great When I play back, it is just off. What you said makes me wonder if it is a settin somewhere though. It isn't quantizing it though, all my rhythmic mistakes are in place, heh. But the recorded material does seems to be a certain amount off, like an 8th or 16th. VERY strange, and has been doing this to me forever.

u sound like ur knowledgable for this not to be ur problem but anyway: u can get a delay when ur computer is changing midi into whatever sound ur using, so if ur listening to this and layin down another track over it u could be playing a bit after hte midi note has already passed. if ur happy with ur midi track u can export it as a wav file then bring it back in without delay.

anyway sorry if thats not ur problem (which im guessin its not) but hope it helps someone
