Issue with midi and sound card buffer

[Jono J Grant]

Hey there, I'm using 2 x UAD Apollos and an octo pcie card with cakewalk.

When I have a huge file with lots of plugins, I need to change the buffers in the UAD settings to 2048. However at this rate, the midi has unexpected errors. Missing notes mostly.

Midi seems to perform best at low buffer sizes like 128 or 256 but poorly at higher ones like 2048.

How am I supposed to deal with this??

Why does midi perform poorly at 2048 buffer size in the sound card settings??

Frustrating to say the least.

Thanks

Does anyone know about this? Thanks

Try increasing the size of the midi buffer in Preferences.

Thanks, ya, I had tried that and any other thing that was suggested to me in other posts, didn't make a difference.

I never had the problem with my MOTU cards, perhaps it's UAD related.

Just wondered if anyone had any insight as to why midi would perform poorly with the higher soundcard buffer size?
