Buffer size vs midi

[jono grant]

Hi, I use UAD hardware, a pretty extensive system, I'm constantly going back and forth altering buffers to deal with tracking latency and buffers to deal with mixing and plugins. Very frustrating to begin with, but now another issue. If I have a file with a good deal of tracks and plugins, I usually need to crank the UAD buffers to 2048, so it can handle the plugins and playback smoothly. Problem is, it seems I get dropped midi notes in the higher buffer settings (AAAAAAAAUGH!) How can it be this difficult to get a DAW to play files properly?

Anyhow, is there a setting that might help the midi not drop out at this buffer size? I would think it would be easier to deal with the midi just like it is for the audio, to be using higher buffers.

Thanks

Anyone have any idea why midi notes might start dropping out at higher buffer sizes (2048)?

Thanks
