Notes Playback BEFORE the Measure in X2

I've just installed X2 Producer.

I'm running:

Windows 7 64bit at 8 gig ram

M-audio firewire 410

M-audio axiom 49

My Problem is that during playback, my notes play BEFORE the beat (measure) - while recording, everything feels on - I've slowed down tempo - adjusted latency, etc - and still the notes are about 3 ticks before the beat - nudging and quantize Does Correct - but Everything does not need to be quantized

Furthermore, I went side by side in Reason 6.5 on the same system and it's always spot on, even when I readjusted the latency configuration to try and correct X2.

My anti-virus is Off and my computer is never online while I'm recording

Please advise

Merry Christmas

Do you have any kind of latency compensation enabled . What's your sound card driver modes. This issue has to do with a setting.

Thanks So Much for your response. I downloaded the latest version from m-audio, I moved the buffer sizes, bit depths and compensation settings all up and down the dials. I even switched my sound card from ASIO to WDM and no change - here's what's most frustrating - when I made each of these changes, I tried each setting in Reason and it never budged - Spot On during recording and playback. It's almost unfair.

Any other assistance you can provide will be most appreciated.

You're recording a live performance, and you can hear/see a consistent 3-tick (1.5ms @ 125BPM) timing offset on playback? I don't think so.

Jere,
Have a look at the link above in the post by scook. (There apparently is a setting that helps timing on some systems - it's mentioned in the last post).

Good luck!

Thanks for the responses - will check out link - I think I was misquoted by Brundlefly. I could not tell that their were any misalignments at all as I was recording. In fact everything "felt" right as I was recording to the metronome, but once i listened ro take, it was all off. I appreciate all of your responses evryone - will let you know what worked.

Merry Christmas!

Hey, Jere; I just quoted what was there. Not sure where you got the value of 3 ticks. If you can hear a problem, it's almost certainly a lot more than three ticks. That's all I'm saying.

Merry Christmas to you, too.!

Is PDC on? What plugins are in the project?

The adjustment can me made in the manual offset field. Preferences-->Audio--->Sync & Caching.

Merry Christmas as well BTW.
