Midi drums off time when recording guitar..
Hi, I did a search already but couldn't find my EXACT issue. I've got a midi drum track firing BFD Demo drums. All good. I go to record a guitar track counting in with the metronome>audio click. The drums start 1 bar LATE. I ended up freezing the BFD track and that worked, also if I went to metronome>midi click so I got a workaround but it took me about 1/2 hour to figure that out. Is there any way around this? Just curious. Thanks.

Do you have any "count in " measures selected on the metronome settings??

Yes, count in 1 measure and I wondered about that, but should it NOT matter? Why would it offset the midi track 1 bar?

That would kind of defeat the need for counting in the beginning of the song, though.

The beginning of the project does not necessarily coincide with the beginning of a song.

True, another work-around is to have the "song" start 1 bar in and just put a dummy 4 note midi track as a count-in. I guess the point being (and I've fired an e-mail off to Sonar support) is whether this is a known issue/bug or "just the way it works". I've also got PingDXi which I purchased some years ago that I could install. It's a dxi metronome for Sonar. Works good, too, I was just hoping to get away with using Sonar's.

I'm having the same problems. Didn't start until I upgraded BFD to BFD 1.5, that I know of. And it's only during recording, once I play back, the Midi patterns start as expected, but during recording, it comes in one measure late. Oh, and it's with Sonar 4 Pro, I haven't started using Sonar 5 Pro yet.
Anyone else having these issues?

Do you have your metronome set to count in one measure on record?? This is likely why you're seeing this. All my songs start on measure 3, I use zero count in measures. I trim th first two measures at mastering.
