Default Consolidate selection moves transients randomly

Hello everybody, this is the strangest thing. Having two problems and not sure why.

I will import a wav kick drum file, cut it at the first transient and snap it to line up perfectly on the grid and tab to all the other hits and write down their sample position. When I consolidate the file every hit will be randomly moved by several samples before or after where they should be. I can see the waves moving. This is not chopped up regions but one continuous file so I cannot understand what is going on. Does it on commit also.

Happens on PT10HD and PT12HD on two different computers. Win7Pro, RME HDSP9652, one computer is a HP Z400.

The second problem is trying to print virtual instruments. If I send the outs of something like SSD4 and record, each hit seems to be off randomly also. I know midi is not sample accurate but it is so random it has me stumped. I'll quantize the midi file and set the velocity all the same and use a single drum sample to rule out different cut points on the samples. Still does it.

Any help is greatly appreciated because this is driving me nuts.

What happens when you print the audio to a new channel via bussing it?

Hi YYR123, just tried that and they are all randomly off as well. I tried trashing preferences, different sound card, removed all installed plugins except for PT, earlier install version ect... The strange thing is its happening on two totally different computers with different versions of PT. Thanks for any help you can offer because I am really frustrated. I will try a fresh install next.

On or off it does not matter. New session with only one mono file loaded. No plugins on any channels. Tried different files to make sure it was not corrupt. I'm about to do a fresh Win7 install so I should be back online later tonight.

With the first issue, you don't have EA enabled on the track by chance do you?

A Quick update, did a fresh install of winpro7 and PT12HD on the editing computer and the problem seems to have gone away. I haven't been able to try out any midi instruments yet and will have to do a fresh install on the main computer as well.

It will have to wait as I am preparing to flee Hurricane Irma. I will keep everybody posted on the outcome. Alan.

A quick update...
The first things I grab is my prized Les Paul, studio drives and iloks haha.
Made it through ok but was really worried about the flooding this time. Looks like I will be moving the studio again.

About the PT problems, everything seems to be working correctly again. Haven't had much time to spend on it though. The only thing I can think happened was I installed SSD's on both computers and instead of doing a fresh install I just ghosted the drives. I will never do that again! If the problems pop back up I will post again. Thanks to everybody for their help, Alan.
