Whenever I record my virus C to cubase I can see/hear that the audio doesn't record exactly from the first beat on the sequencer. I have tried setting the Delay on cubase , my RME audio card's buffer sizes,ADSR on the synth and a few more.Still I can't get it recorded precisely from the first beat and in groove.So now I just record,then cut the audio and move it to the first beat.Does anybody else have anymore precise or better ways to deal with the latency ??? |

yes, uninstall cubase and buy yourself for a lot of money sonar. test sonar (it manages it automaticly) for 3 weeks and get more and more ungry about all the bugs contained.
then reinstall your old cubase again and see that it was not as bad as you have thought.
now seriously:
ok, you realy allready do the only possible way. (steinberg cubase, the most powerfull software ever) you can also set a midi-offset in the midi-track (where the little clock is in the inspector) and reduce the offset to negative value until it is fixed and you can monitor everything correctly. the cool thing is, the latency changes when you record (isnt that nice) and the latency changes by enabling the editor-loop. so this only works while looping the arrangement window and on monitoring.
you can also load 2 midi-tracks one with a fixed offset for recording and one for monitoring. this is the way i do it.
greetings, a cubase user (the best software of the world)
PS: if there is a cubase 4 user, it would be nice to know if this is fixed. let me guess: it is not  |

Are you starting recording exactly on the beginning of the first note?
Try recording a few bars of silence before the first MIDI note. While there is supposed to be delay compensation, as you've tried, sometimes it doesn't work. I came across this problem recently and by giving the program a little "breathing room" in the beginning of recording, things were in sync after that.

oh, i forgot to mention. yes in cubase i allways left some space in front of the first beat while recording. then i just cut out the space manually to get a tight record at the end. this take a few clicks to do it, but with trained hands it works pretty fast. by the way this step is done by sonar automaticly (very nice).

Lots of thanks and respect for the replies.
Kitnam..........so basically what you are saying is that there are a few ways of improving the recording on the beat , but there isn't a way that is 100% accurate??You still need to cut and move the audio at the end.
Aeon.......I also noticed that by giving it breathing space you improve the monitoring but do you also get the recording from exactly the first beat where you've put a midi note when you do this?? |

yes, i still have to cut manually by hands. and i now for fact that it is no big deal for a programmer at steinberg to automaticly cut out the leading silence of a record as in sonar. does anyone know about cubase 4?

The more I work with cubase the more I realise what a powerful program it is.I am sure they'll sort it out at some stage,hopefully soon.
Happy Days! |
