From my perspective, mixing mostly, with very little “live” playing, at the end of the day it’s the quality of the audio that matters most. 16 samples is negligible when I am laying down my own MIDI, I remember I was lucky if I could get 128 sample response with stability back “in the day” so to speak, so 16 samples is of little consequence. IMHO.

from a mixing point of view, that 16 samples is now, accounted for with delay compensation because it is reported. However, in the other situation where it is not reported, and that bug rears its ugly head in the middle of a mix, our audio suddenly finds itself shifted by 16 samples. That slight phase shift will be noticed and will require more work to fix.

as far as entering MIDI goes, many DAW‘s Support live mode which pretty much surpasses all reported latency for the selected channel. I use this all the time in Logic with all of my MIDI controllers, including a pad controller.

It’s more than a simple preference. Along with that preference comes a parallel set of supporting code that has to divert and process the sound. Extra processing means more bugs and a greater chance of reintroducing instability as was mentioned in its previous revision by @MattiasEks above. This instability could wind its way back in a broader scale. Who knows. The question is not if it is possible, but if it is feasible over the 350 microseconds (worst case) that Superior Drummer needs in order to not only keep it stable but phase aligned with surrounding audio?

Bahahahah! I just read that. Gotta love Siri dictation.

A little Miller might just make it a like milder. Perhaps a Freudian slip on Siri’s behalf.

Did you prefer the pre-3.4.0 behaviour, where the reported latency was 0 at the expense of the MIDI timing being potentially off with up to 16 samples when dealing with unusual block sizes in 44.1?

This reversion sounds reckless. 16 samples is imperceptible to the human ear, but is more than enough to introduce comb filtering and phase problems for those of us who use a DAW for its intended purposes.  Not to mention that the issue of pops and clicks within a mix is far more alarming.

Not to mention that I believe that the 16 sample change addressed issues that other users were having.

I want a test case with a method of reproducing the above. Otherwise I would be dead set against such a reckless revert.

Been catching up going through a few of your songs. You’re my thoughts on this song.

overall, I like the groove and where the song is going. I also like the synthesizer in the song and where they are placed.

here are my thoughts on the vocals and what I probably would have done:

I would’ve created more contrast between the verse and the chorus. The verse has these nice female introjections. I would’ve said the vocals just above those interjections and perhaps sung it a little Miller and added a touch of reverb and echo. Not too much. For the chorus I would have kept the vocals as they are… In your face. Again, these are my thoughts.

In order to get brush sounds, you need to load a kit with brush articulations. MIDI groove packs are not sound. Thus they are not capable of making brush sounds on their own.
