Hello all! I have been using DP for the past couple of months and I do love it. However, I have been plagued with a strange issue: sometimes even a single MIDI instrument will catch and do this wierd loop even if I simply press and release a single note. I've also noticed that DP itself, as well as the MIDI response time, can be pretty sluggish considering my machine is no slouch.

Now before you suggest it, it's definately not a RAM issue. I have 16GB DDR3 ram, and in my biggest projects it's about half-way used up. I also suspected this was a power supply issue, so I upgraded. That got rid of a few unrelated things, but not this. I suspect it's just a sound setting in the os or my sound card that needs to be tweaked. Anyway, here are my specs:

ACPI x64-based PC
Intel Core i7-2600K @ 3.4GHz
16GB DDR3 RAM (Corsair XMS3)
SoundBlaster ZXR
NVIDIA GEForce GTX 650
Cooler Master V1000
Windows 7

Also, most of my projects use EastWest Complete Composer's Collection primarily.

I'm not sure what you mean by "weird loop".

Is it that DP loops a region upon playback? A selected region, perhaps?
Or do you mean some kind of internal instrument loop setting?

Is it a random thing, or does it happen when you do something in particular?

No, so say I have a guitar instrument set. Now i lay a single note in the track, and that's all there is (from a clean slate). When the playback gets there, it will play part of the sample, and then play it again, over and over. It was just supposed to be one single pick, as that is all there is on the MIDI track. I'm totally baffled by this, because to me it seems like this should be a sound card issue...but it's brand-new and it only really crops up in DP and much less in other apps/games/etc.

It's fairly random but odds are good it will happen whenever a sample is played.

Ack! Now I'm getting a horrible screeching noise! What the heck?
