Title: Reason 1.0 and Cubase5r6, weird synch prob
Post by hiro_protagonist on May 8th, 2002, 9:09am
Hello everybody,
I realize this might be slightly off-topic, but since I've seen that a lot of arcane midi knowledge is here :) I will try and state my problem:

My current setup is as follows:
CuBase 5r6 synched to Reason, usually using the ReWire interface. Occasionally, I run out of control channels, though (only 16 of 'em), and that's when I use Midi Yoke to be able to address more instruments within Reason.
So, midi flows through the yoke, audio comes back via the ReWire interface. Now, this works beautifully and I have no noticeable latency or synch problems when I play a song and listen to it.

However, when I want to export a song in Cubase (write out .wav data), the timing of the channels served by the Yoke is distinctly off. As far as I can tell, it's not a regular shift as in latency, sometimes it's on beat and then it gets stuck in a rut, and plays some notes very quickly to catch up (hard to describe how it sounds, but imagine playing a straight eight hihat line and it comes out as if a horse is galloping with one leg accidentally getting snagged by a brush sometimes ... some thing like that)

As stated above, this is only when exporting.
Things I've tried: Not all too many, but one thing that I thought would help was to set "allow plug-ins to update during playback" to yes in the export settings. Without this flag, the export goes as fast as the processor can handle it, with it, the export takes exact real time. But again, no luck, the galloping horses were still there.

So, if you have any hint for me as to what causes this behaviour (I am a curious guy) or how to work around it (I am pragmatic, too), I'd appreciate really much

Sincerely,
-hiro
