Re: MIDI problem - can anyone replicate?

I don’t understand why changing the buffer should effect your results although something is clearly amiss. Pro Tools is supposed to have a dual buffer. One very high one for playback which PT determines in the backgroundm, and the buffer you can adjust which determines the play through/record buffer. That’s why when you record enable a VI the CPU usage goes up.

In my experience, certain VI's exhibit this issue more than others. If it's too bad you can compensate more from Event>MIDI Track Offsets on a per track basis.

Re: MIDI problem - can anyone replicate?
They should just disable the facility at higher buffers then, instead of pretending it's of any use. It's unusable.

Re: MIDI problem - can anyone replicate?
From my experience the buffer setting is a trade-off. I think it depends on a lot of factors not the least of which is hardware. Which is going to be different from system to system. So I think that the reason the settings are there is because in some instances you might get away with a higher buffer setting.
The trade off is basically higher buffer settings mean you get uninterrupted recording and playback. So think about all of the factors that will affect this. Your sound hardware. The sample rate Your drive speed And in the case of VST it is of course reading sounds through all of the above. The sounds have a sample rate, (and size) they are played from your disk through your sound system and you get the result back through your phones or speakers. So you increase your buffer size to make sure this playback is smooth. And how high you can set it will depend on your system. Then the trade off is the higher the buffer setting the more delay you are going to get. You can test this on an audio track. Try monitoring your recording while the track is in record mode and test various buffer settings. You can hear a delay as you get to higher levels. What does a buffer do? It stores the data in memory so that there is no interruption of sound. You don't hear the skips and so on that are really happening as your system chokes because the data is stored first and then sent to your years smoothly. So the larger the storage bin - if you will - the longer it is going to take to store and retrieve that bucket of data. Hope this helps.

Update : just had email from Avid that this is a “legit issue” and they’re working on a fix. To all the unbelievers I say : you’re forgiven.
