Hi,

can you please try go to System Preferences > Displays > Color and select “sRGB IEC61966-2.1.” Does that make any difference?

Are there a lot of (latency inducing) plug-ins in the Audio path?

BR,
John

Hi John,

Changing the color format did not make any difference.

I can’t say there are too many latency inducing plugins in the audio path. There are 3 guitar tracks in the project with neural dsp plugins in each. No plugins in the path of EZDrummer.

And even if there were latency inducing plugins, the grid cursor should take that into account no? In the end it is just some visual reference and it should not be affected by latency. It is not like I am playing anything live. It is playing the midi groove that is already there. When I export the midi to Reaper’s interface and play it there there is no latency.

But you are right, it seems like the issue is caused by the plugins for some reason because when I open EZDrummer on an empty project and insert a groove there is no lag in the grid editor. So are we not supposed to add a few guitar tracks as they will cause delay ?

Regards,

Baran.

No! This is not a Toontrack issue. The play head on the grid only changes when it receives the midi song position pointer info from the DAW. It has no knowledge otherwise.

Your audio is getting processed by the latency inducing plug-ins first. Then it sends the song position pointer to sync up your MIDI. That is how delay compensation works.

Thanks from me, too. The Track performance options tip works great. I’m moving from Pro Tools to Reaper and watching the cursor lag behind in the Grid Editor for my first sessions was driving me nuts. Cheers!
