I'm recording midi tracks into my delta 1010 in cubase, and for some reason when i record a note it gets recorded about an 1/8 note earlier than where it should be.

I've done tests recording with a click track and hit the note RIGHT on the click and it still records the note about an 1/8 step earlier upon investigating in the matrix editor. It sounds perfect when i am recording but due to where it records the note, the sync with tempo is off when i play it back...

anyone have any idea what's wrong???
 
Not familiar with Cubase. Is it possible that it's quantizing on the fly?
 
What's your latency offset? Higher than your latency???

Might have to check your device AND your Cubase prefs to find out.

What happens if you change to one of the non-ASIO drivers?
 
The latency offset has to do with audio data, not MIDI. Same with the ASIO driver.
 
I'm in Al's corner on this one. I don't use Cubase either, but it sounds like he has his quantize resolution set to maybe 1/8th or so. Try a smaller resolution like 1/16th, and your problem should be solved.

A lot of people have encountered this problem, myself included. It's not a latency problem, not a midi interface problem but an actual bug in Cubase. I always have to move the notes to the right place manually in the midi editor.

Anyway here's a link to a very big discussion on this problem. I got this in reply from Bassmaster "K" to my own thread with the same question. Hope it helps.

Whoa, seriously? Now that's what I call a bug! How'd something like that get through alpha and beta test, much less into a release?
 
Notice how the beginning of the discussion is almost two years old and Steinberg still hasn't come up with a solution that is driving numerous of its clients up the wall!
