Hi, this is concerning MIDI TIMING on CUBASE MAC v 4.1 and 5.0.
The set up is: Mac clone POWER CENTER PRO + XLR8 G3 500 Mhz running OS 8.6 352 RAM. OPCODE studio 64XTC midi interface. oms 2.3.8 MOTU 2408 latest asio 2.1 from MOTU / I have tried all the solutions i can think of to solve this issue... OMS,pci card,Drivers,MacOS,extensions,preferences,etc... Recording the midi to audio will produce random timing shift as far as 15ms late once recorded on the audio track ! The midi needs to be recorded at some early stages since it will drift as more cpu is used! This is happening with minimum load on the cpu. As you can imagine, this render the program almost unusable for midi purposes. Anybody else experiencing this? Thanks! |

I've experienced the same things with all cubase versions since audio was introduced. Midi play randomly (this is the nightmare) to late or to ealry.
ie: you record a MIDI sound (rimShot, HH) on each beat during 4 bars, then record the audio output to a DAT, then copy your DAT back to the computer in a file, and edit it with an accurate sample editor like peak or Protools. Select each beat lenght, and notice its duration (in samples). you will be surprised to see that beat durations doesn't match !!  How do you want to get your music to groove if Cubase is'nt allready able to play as tight as a $15 metronome. I now use Logic which is more complex, IMO, but really accurate about MIDI timing!
