Soft Synths and Perfect Space on ANY Buss do not like each other on my system

I have been playing with putting some drum tracks together.  I noticed after I copied audio data to midi and pasted it on the synth track and assigned lets say C3 for the kick, during playback of the tracks, it was hit and miss as far as the notes actually playing even though the spots were there where they should have sounded.
This continued as I added snare track, cymbals tracks, etc...

Started getting real frustrated missing parts that should have or appeared to be visually Okay but no sound. After messing around a bit and retrying and retrying the copy and paste, I thought what about FX messing with it. So I reached up with the cursor and killed all FX from the ToolBar.  Well well!!!. No problems at all. I turned FX back on and turned all FX on the Busses only OFF, then hit play with the Drum buss Solo'd and started turning them on 1 by 1. I did delete a couple I had up that I wasnt using and continued on this path trying to narrow down the culprit.

Apparently one of the ones I deleted was the problem and was not even on the Drum Buss, I believe it was on a guitar track or the VOX.

So the questionable thing is how can an effect on a buss not even in the mix or routing effect the output/what you should be hearing of a soft synth/drum and cause me to hammer down a pot of coffee while pulling my hair out

Not sure if this is a known bug or just something Im doing, but really all I did to correct it was deleted an unused FX on an entirely different buss.  Weird

Perfect Space will add a lot of latency to your system. Best to add that plug in after you have your tracking done.

Trying to post an example





Sorry, got Track View next instead but same info, As seen in the boxes below the playback will be intermittent from note to note or a space of them for quite awhile will not sound. It might be just 1 track at a time or effect all 3 tracks.  Most of the time its different spots as you repeat the playback. This is happening on a project that has all the tracking done and ready for Export. I tried to add the PS at the last minute to see if that made a difference-no change. ( I can add multiple PS (on every buss) to a Audio only project and not have any problems at all.  Does it make any sense?

Usually when these midi skips are reported, the advice is to raise the default midi prepare buffer (in Edit > Preferences > MIDI - Playback and Recording) to 500 ms or a little bigger. Hope it helps you.

Thanks, I give it a look tomorrow.  


If the Perfect Space causes this much in problems, Ill just use a different one.


I let ya know what I find, I thought I had most of them setting jacked up to where things wouldnt be an issue but ya never know.  

OMG, Really?????   I spent quite some time last night after DELETING all Perfect Space instance out, doing a mess of EQing and editing. Saved a mess of times throughout it. Closed out for the night.

When I came back into it this morning, Perfect Space put itself back on a bunch of the busses and it lost all my EQing I did.   (Ughhhhh)

Not sure if its my new Dell (Nuff said there) or something going on in X1?  

Gotta keep my sense of humor  

Thanks Strat,  Maybe something is going on with my Computer. Havent changed or done anything to it lately. It doesnt connect to internet. So just starting out getting into adding these midi tracks, maybe Im running into stuff thats been an unfound issue since installing Sonar, not that its a Sonar prob, just a LACK of knowledge on my part.
