Rich, I've been recording midi off the dtxpress for about 2 months now. You may be sending a 'midi volume 0' to channel 10 to the dtxpress, which sticks until you reset or send 'midi volume x' to channel 10. I saw a similar affect using NTRACK studio. I'm recording like this: dtxpress -> sound card --> seq software / thru on --> sound card --> dtxpress local mode: off I'm having a big problem with NTRACK studio because of the way it records midi, but haven't had any problems with other software. ( quartz audio, etc. ). What happens is I'll record about 5 minutes of midi via dtxpress, hit the stop button, and have to wait almost a minute while NTRACK processes it's buffers. No other midi seq does this. It drops a lot of notes, and thru mode suffers delays or drop outs. Also, I've noticed that while playing dtxpress overdubs after I've recorded analog tracks causes a heavy latency ( you describe as 16th note delays ). It appears many of these packages concentrate so heavily on getting the audio portions to play in sync that midi is a secondary concern. I know my timing is not the best, but when i play back the midi recordings i cringe :) For best results i have to record all the midi first, then lay down analog. fyi: there's something wrong in the world when 5 years ago i could record real time to a DOS midi seqencer ( voyetra ) , and Windows just can't keep up with a simple low speed serial midi stream. What software are you using? Rich wrote: > > From: "Rich" <rich@...> > > Thanks for the info, Andy. Much appreciated!
