Not at all. After I migrated the data from the session into a new session where SD3 and EZBass worked properly, I went back to the old session and removed every single track and all plugins, leaving only one instrument track with SD3 on it. Guess what – the time cursor is still a 1/4 note ahead of the actual drum beats. Reading through these complaints going back 5 years, they mention virtually every major DAW having the same problem, but in a very inconsistent way. It would not seem to be a DAW issue based on the reporting.

I often have this display latency running SD3 and EZBass in ProTools. As stated by at least one other user in this thread, it does not happen in every session. It seems to be random. It does make editing a drum pattern very awkward and inconvenient. When the playback cursor is working, editing is fast and easy. When it’s 1/4 note or more ahead of the audio, it makes editing frustrating and painful. AS I said, in sessions where this happens it affects both EZBass and SD3 in exactly the same way. I tried disabling one of them to see if it was affecting the other, but it made no difference. I’ve tried a huge range of settings in terms of buffer sizes, etc and again it makes no difference. Then without changing any system settings I can close this session and open a different one where SD3 and EZBass are working perfectly. There’s something else going on. It’s disappointing that this has been going on for five years at this point and there’s no solution.
