Timing gets off as track plays

2

Hello all,

I am trying to use nTrack to create drum tracks for original songs. I create my track just by setting events with my mouse. It’s pretty easy this way and sounds good enough. My problem is this, whe i play a track back it sounds great to begin with but as it plays the timing startst to get off. By “off” I mean the beat comes to quick or lags and it starts to sound like a crapy drummer. LOL… If I stop the song, either pause or restart it, the timing sounds correct again.
Seems like the problem starts about 10 - 12 measures into the playback, no matter where I start the playback from.

I have:
1. Intel 3.2GHz hyperthreading CPU with 800 MHz front side buss.
2. 500Mb of RAM
3. N-Videa audio/video card.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
UVBlues

In the preferences make sure you aren’t using the system timer in both the audio and midi tabs.

[edit]
Also what are you using in the midi devices for playback?
If using the MS midi mapper that could cause problems with timing. Does your soundcard have a built in GM synth?
Otherwise try using a soundfont player liek SFZ or drum VSTi like RMF (both free)
