an example using 1 ti channel without external fx, straight from the analog out: http://www.madstation.net/Melodie_trance(uneautre).mp3
It is subtle since I did my best to record this sequence(took me 4 times to get it right) but you can still hear the notes struggling a bit at the start.
When I layer the metronome over this it is even more obvious.

I don't mind notes running out of time once in a while when playing back, but when recording this is a pretty frustrating matter.

Thanks!

MADSTATION - would you mind sending me a .cpr of this sequence? I would like to test it on my system.

For those using SX3.1.1 - it seems necessary at the moment to reset the ASIO Control Panel>System Performance settings to your preferred latency after you have opened VC, and unfortunately, it often seems the case that you need to do it twice for the settings to stick.

This is probably why you find an increased latency with the other plugs once you have opened VC.

You should also find the overall performance to be a lot better once you have done this - I always get horrendous audio performance in SX until I have done this with or without the VC being open. It's worth noting that if there is an interruption to the audio stream when using VC, the Arps will lose sync until new notes are played, so this just might kill two birds with one stone..
