Delay between key command and UI updating in 8.0.1

Post by SteveInChicago »

2 questions-

In DP8 When I use the command to nudge up or down in the MIDI or sequence editor there is a delay, like a half a second before the note moves. Are you experiencing that?

How about in 7.24?

My guess is that you've got your buffer set to about 1024, and the delay you hear is the time DP is allotting to that buffer. If you want it to go away, use an empty "mix" for tracking or working with MIDI. If you name your mixes, you can then open a new mix (don't do this without saving/naming the one you've got), and voilá, no plugins, no automation… empty mix. That, combined with a buffer of about 64, will give you delay-free MIDI when editing or tracking.

I mean that the visual interface has a delay when I move the MIDI note. The sound is instantaneous, and the note moves later.

This is the same regardless of the audio device(s) selected in hardware setup, or of what the MIDI track is routed to.

Nobody care to verify or not? This delay occurs even after a reinstall of OSX (which cured other ills) and deleting of DP prefs.

I was hoping find out if others were experiencing it, or if I need to further troubleshoot... If so, I believe I can get an install of 7.24 from Motu.
