After recording keyboard parts in loop mode with input quantization (16th notes) the playback is glitchy and the second time around is cuts out completely. Could anyonr tel me what would cause this.Even if I quantize afterward it plays back Glitchy.Driving me nuts! :?:

Are you triggering a virtual instrument with the MIDI track? If so the problem could be with the VI.

Test with a simple instrument such as the stock MOTU Polysynth. Any change in symptoms?

If you get smoother playback with a simple VI that indicates a possible performance issue with the original VI.

What is the hardware driver buffer size? If you raise that to 512 or 1024 does that change playback symptoms?

If it's a sample based instrument, where are the samples stored?
