;) Nobody will bear costs for sequencing and arranging MIDI files in the studio ;). At the moment I'm supervising elementary school children, but working as an audio engineer, but I'm quite sure you're right. Anyway, jitter is a problem regarding to the feeling, when arranging a song. For good reasons the Jazz musicians I know, don't use MIDI sequencers. > > > I never experienced jitter for soft synth, when using Cubase > > > and I do hear allegedly inaudible jitter when using external MIDI > > > devices. > > There has to be quite a bit of jitter before one actually hears it as > such, and as to fixed latency, tolerances are even higher. > > Most people apparently don't even hear the "random" timing that's > applied to anything you play on a hardware synth driven via standard > MIDI - but if you're used to oldschool trackers and other software > with sample accurate timing, you can tell something is "off".
