MIDI TIMING BAD????? in ProTools 7.1cs5

[shanabit]

Hey guys, Protools midi is ALL OVER THE PLACE during playback. Im
getting midi jams, shortened notes, all kinds of fun stuff
Is it Protools or my midi patchbay????

Motu MTPAV USB

BTW, what patchbay are you guys using with ProTools???

Pro Tools Midi timing IS all over the place. Digi has a lot of work to do on the Midi/soft synth side of things. From poor performance with Soft synths--to blatant midi timing issues/severe gui issues. You can us MIDI offsets though......

I switched over to DP 5 (as a 6 year digi only user) due to extensive MIDI problems in PT6 and 7--I couldn't take the BS anymore.

but.......the digidesign pro tools studio monopoly forces people like my self to own a PT rig.

still I wish Digi would step up to the plate and give LE owners features and the professional implentations that comes standard with other DAW software (without paying $1200), along with fixing the numerous and serious MIDI bugs.

I had to ask because its REAL bad. I usually like to do my tracks with midi
then dump as audio when I get the patch I like fitting the track. Man this is
IMPOSSIBLE with this version. My drum machine even sounds like its losing its
lunch and NO it doesnt do this in other apps. Hope Im not alone
using MOTU MTPAV USB with 1.32 driver and just switched it to 1.31
to see if it will help. I know MOTU has been having issues with their midi
drivers as well.

Yep, it was sloppy with PLE5 in 2000, and it's still sloppy with PTLE7 in 2006.

At least processor power has caught up to mask the problem to a degree.

Still trying to manage offsets myself (can't seem to nail the perfect setting), though things a more manageable (for recording MIDI to audio) by deactivating plug-ins (not just hitting "bypass") for the recording process.

Is the problem still present with the "MIDI IO", I wonder. Too bad they never saw it feasable to take on the time-stamping capabilities of my now defunct Emagic AMT-8.

I expect there to be a little give and take, good with the bad etc. Just wish the "pro" package could get this in order.

Or, like I alluded to, is everything rosey in "MIDI IO" land? Almost worth the investment if it is.
