RE: [Rosegarden-user] Re: [Rosegarden-devel] MIDI Timing Problems - Example - Doing Time

[Mark K. <mk...@co...>]

Chris,
   An interesting, but very unclear piece of data. Based on one of your
earlier emails, I took the Mozart Quartet example file and did a quick mock
up just using a piano in GigaStudio for all for parts. (I need a nice string
library I suppose!) The timing didn't seem particularly good to me, but it
was nowhere near as bad as my Doing Time example. I thought the piano a
reasonable instrument to use since it's attack and release times are pretty
fast.

   Unfortunately, I can't compare it to anything working by myself, and
working sort of fast like that at lunch time. What I'll do this evening is
export MIDI from RG (I can do that, right?) and load it in Pro Tools, build
a new session around that and record it to see how different it is. It will
likely take me a bit of time though.

   A couple of questions:

1) While this was interesting, the nature of the MIDI in that file is one
note at a time, whereas my file is multiple notes on every channel at the
same time. Do we have an example that you think might be better?

2) Assuming that Pro Tools is still good, then I'm wondering if testing this
with soft synths would provide valid data? (I.e. - skipping the hardware
part of Alsa, I think...)

Thanks,
Mark

Ah, I see.  Mixer and headphones?

No, I wouldn't bother trying to go down that path.  I'm sure it's
possible, if you're not generating audio at the same time, but...

I don't know -- probably not -- but I guess if you wanted you could
send me a snippet of the MIDI or .rg file so I can check it's
actually okay to start with.
