Strange Latency Drift

Hey guys,

I am experiencing some strange behavior with EZDrummer in X2. I selected a section of my song to loop while I mix the drums and each time it loops there is an increasing slapback in the audio. If I stop the playback and start again, it goes away but slowly grows again. I have all the drum tracks routed to a dry drum bus which is routed to a wet drum bus which then goes to the master. Effects-wise I'm only using ProChannel. 

Anyone ever see anything like this before?

    Its probably a combination of you looping the audio and sound card drivers

    I get the same thing, only I have Superior Drummer and Sampletank playing back drums and percussion via MIDI, along with the recorded audio and instead of a slap echo, we just hear the drums slowly offset until the groove is totally FUBAR...

    I changed the MIDI sync in preferences and it seemed to help.

    'Tried freezing the two MIDI drum tracks mentioned above, but the Sampletank track was then stuck in it's own time zone...which was WAY off.

    Next, I will have to bounce the MIDI tracks to audio tracks and hope that helps with loop recording.

    Not sure what's happening, but do know that these issues did not exist in 8.5 PE...

    Let us all know if you find a work-around and I'll do the same.

    Anyone else experience this and know how to fix it?

    Cheers,
    MG

    Thanks drummaman. At least I know I'm not the only one. I'll check out the MIDI sync.

    I have the same problem I thought that the X2a patch might have fixed it.
    Been with cake since S3 never had this one before.
     Regards
