X3 Producer, FW-1884,  audio is good when using 96/24 but midi distorts any suggestions ?
midi plays undistorted only in 48/24 mode. I run Windows 7, ASIO driver.
The only solution I thought of is to work up my midi in this configuration, convert to audio,
export and reimport in a new project in 96/24 mode unless someone has a solution.
 
I have an XPS DELL i7, 64 bit pc

I would suggest looking into preferences->midi:playback and recording. Make sure you have the midi buffer size set to at least 500 milliseconds - that seems to be the consensus around here to avoid midi dropouts. Since your audio's working good (glad to hear that), you should be good to go.
 

Hi Boibhava
 
Off to bed now but this may help for further reading in the meantime...

... and what SuperG said...

thanks, I will try some of those suggestions

I was looking for the like button...

well I tried the 500 milliseconds but that did not fix the problem, and found no equivalent problem on
the links that cakealexs gave me either. I guess I will call Tascam tomorrow and see if they have any
input

Not sure I understand MIDI distorting but I guess you mean when you process MIDI through a plugin synth then the sound is distorted. Though that makes your first statement a bit confusing because you say that 96/24 sounds good but MIDI distorts. Is this audio that you've recorded before at 97/24 that you then play along with MIDI through a plugin and then that sound is distorted?

Sounds more like latency is your issue. Try upping your buffers. Did it used to work and now not or is this a long standing problem. Or what.

Yes Mudgel, its when I am playing a midi project that I then assign to Cakewalk-TTS1 for example.
I just did some more experimenting and found that it is only the Direct X soft synth plug ins that sound
distorted, the VST ones are ok. So I wonder how to fix that?

I'm not sure where to go from here.

Hang on a bit, I'm sure that others with greater expertise will come along over the next little while and help you out. You could put a call into Cakewalk tech support. They're a very helpful bunch of people.

TTS1 doest work with 96/24. If i remember it only works until 48/24
