Elektron Musical Instruments

New to the group and this discussion but just like to chime in that I 
have always had about a 300 sample offset when bouncing audio tracks 
down from a midi source or clock synced source in Cubase SX 1, 2 and 3.
This is using various computers and sound cards (and synths/samplers)
I'm now using a p4 2.4, ASUS P4PE, Midex8, RME HDSP 9652 and Behringer 
ADA8000 converters with the same problem.
Steinberg are supposed to have a maintenace release of SX3 this summer 
which addresses this issue, but I wouldn't hold my breath.  Also, we 
are only talking about 7ms here (with a 44.1 project) and there is 
always going to be latency in the hardware (MachineDrum, MonoMachine 
whatever) between the midi interface sending the note on message and 
the hardware generating a sound.  I'm very used to chopping off the 
first 300 samples of my recordings now.
