When recording MIDI to Audio the audio, the audio timing isn\'t the same as MIDI

I spent a few hours perfecting a MIDI bass line for my 1st track since getting my PT system up and running. when I recorded it to an audio track, the timing just wasn't like it was on the MIDI track. It was like somehow some of the notes got nuged a little. I tried recording it a few times but got the same results. I haven't changed any of the setting in PT yet. any help would be apritiated.

I almost forgot. I'm running PT 5.3.1` on WinXP. Pen 4-2.4 gig 1 gig of RAM.

Justin, When you record the Midi track to an Audio track, go up under 'Operations', and check 'Low Latency Monitoring'. But also remember, when you want to 'Bounce to Disc', if you have both Midi and Audio tracks recorded, be sure to UNcheck 'Low Latency Monitoring'. ~Roy

Hello Justin_M, Unfortunately latency is fact of life in the digital realm. You will need to adjust you hardware buffer to 512, 256, or lower if your system can handle it. You can also adjust you DEA setting too. This will help keep the latency to a minimum. Fortunately for my system, the latency has been, for the most part, consitant track to track. It is just a millisecond or two. Basically inaudible. You can just trim a few mili's off the the beginnig of your audio tracks. I usually use time correction by trimming each audio region exactly to the first sample. It can be a tedious job, but I am always get good results.

thanks guys, i will try using the low latency feature and using a lower buffer size, but should i always use the same buffer size or change it acording to what type of pattern or insterment i'm using? also my midi sync is all off. my click dosn't seem to keep time. it slows down.
