Default Midi - first note doesn't play

When I play a midi recording it seems that the first note doesn't play properly. There's a sort of fade in on it (the sound coming out) - after I have triggered the note everything is ok - until next time I start again.

Any solutions?

Thanks for replying!

Hi,

Are you using realtime midi quantize? or have you committed the quantize?

Is the note exactly on the grid?

what's the midi triggering? what type of sound!

No compressors in the monitor path!!

Thanks for helping!

Quantize has ben committed.

Note is exactly on the grid.

All sounds (first sound) have the same "fade in" - sort of an envelope opening - or the disk has to respond. It doesn't matter if it's instruments in Pro Tools or coming from Logic.

And no compressors in the path - at all.

And btw. I'm doing research right now how to improve midi-timing which is outstanding bad in PT. I just can't get the audio to be on the spot - after recording midi data into audio. I have to manually align the audio afterwards. I have tried routing to aux - removed delay compansation - but it's a boring work afterwards.

You can use "Beat Detective" to align audio with transients (especially if you record external hardware synth).

That's another problem..... this problem is the SOUND - sort of no attack on first note. Like a wrong envelope curve.
