If I import a known good midi file into Rosegarden, for example, and send the midi to my vDrum brain, it sounds like it's being played by someone with no sense of rhythm. Yesterday I recorded a performance using both ardour and rosegarden (capturing audio and midi, respectively), then re-recorded audio using the midi recording and my vDrum as a sound source, and the resulting audio tracks were more or less spot-on the same. Today, I did the same thing, and I got the "absolute beginner" effect described in paragraph 1 above. I don't really understand how to debug the timing source on my system. I'm running the ccrma distro, so I assume the kernel has high resolution timing compiled in. Here's the output from alsa-info: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=daa5d493389103b81ab071e81c3bfba1b19f803d I think I'll try a more recent kernel and see if that helps. I use 2.6.24.7-1.rt3.2.fc8.ccrmart at the moment because when I first installed f8/planetccrma the most recent kernels gave me some system hangups. Thanks for any advice/info.
