Original Message 1/4 28-Feb-01 @ 01:04 AM - is this right??
Somethin is really pissin me off @ the moment and i need help !!!
Ive got a Terratec 88MT Sound card (please keep reading this is a general post!!!), when i have say 10 audio tracks i can have the latency down to 5ms, even with quite a few plugins/EQ,
but as soon as i add midi parts, around 6 or 7 plus i am getting lots of clickin`. Now is this the usual sign of my PC not coping (Athlon 750, 256 mb Ram etc) or is there either something wrong with the card/my setup, i mean in the modern age of Nuendo DAWs its seems strange that my PC cant cope with 16midi tracks when i can have 16 stereo audio tracks with EQ and plugins runnin with no clicks, bloody Atari STs used 2 cope with 16 midi tracks 4 christ sake!!!!!
Anyones opinion would be greatfully received!!!!

i've heard of pc at half that power
being able to cope with similar
situations. I've also heard that the VIA
chipset can cause problems with
midi-not for everyone though-. That
chipset is on your motherboard if
your running an AMD.
Do you have a decent midi interface?
Maybe your chaining too many
pieces of gear together or your
getting a midi feedback loop.
If your using some sounds from your
controller, then turn the "Local"
perameter off. Good luck!

I havent got a VIA chipset, its a Biostar with an AMD chipset and i am using the MIDI actually on the Terratec, only about 14 channels in this case.
The weird thing is that if i set the midi channels 2 a Virtual instrument the clicks go away and even more weird is that it still clicks (when i have the midi set to 88MT out) when there are NO midi leads attached !!!??? I have tried an SB Gold i had lying around and this does the same thing !!!?? I am considering buying something like a Midiman 2x2 USB to try.

I'm not totally familiar w/ the 88mt but
if your running 14 channels of stuff
using 1 in/out/thru port, your pushing
a watermellon thru a flexy straw. Get
a dedicated interface w correct
ins/outs for all your gear. Even if it's
not the whole problem, you will have
far better midi timing.
