7.0 issue? Click drifts

[Nathanael]

I posted this in that big 7.0 petition thing, but decided it might get resolved easier if it had it's own thread.

Actually "drift" is a weak word. It's more like "stutters" or "hesitates" - for a second then catches up by rushing for two or three counts.

Has anybody else experienced this problem with the "Click" plug-in? It seems to happen most when I am viewing a plug-in while there is at least a medium ammount of CPU usage happening. I never recall this happening in older versions. I've found that if I don't show any plug-ins the problem goes away. But sometimes I have to have it showing to do live tweaks and automation etc etc. It worsens according to the ammount of CPU usage that is happening. What's most concerning is that when there's not a lot of CPU usage happening, the inconsistencies aren't as bad. What if I've been tracking to a slightly drifting click? Any insight?

yes i've had this problem

its not PT7 specific, I havent upgraded yet, I've had it on PT 6.9 and i think some earlier versions

its usually pretty obvious, and i tend to assume that if i can't hear it its not doing it, with mine its the occaisonal click or several clicks are way out of time, and then it comes back.

it does rather defeat the whole point of a click!

sometimes the click drops out completely for 4 or 5 beats and then comes back
