I've been going through your emails and it seems that your problems are with timing. I know that you have tried lots of possible solutions but I don't have the time right now to re-read all of your emails so please tell me again the most fundamental problem and I'll check my system to see if I have any such issues. Do you have a windows partition on your machine? I ask because I once installed some cracked software to test out the program and it wrecked the timing on my machine. I had to use Darik's boot and nuke to get rid of the problem.. Please tell me what versions of programs you are using and the most simple scenario where the problem occurs. Also are these issues only midi or are they audio too?
