Why is the first MIDI note always delayed?

Hi all
I'm having some trouble recording MIDI in Logic Pro X. When using virtual instruments (built-in Logic instruments) there is a latency issue with the first note. When recording or playing along, the first note I play has quite audible latency, but everything after that is fine, no latency. If the song is stopped and I am just playing the instrument it's fine, the problem only occurs when recording or playing back. If I am recording, the MIDI note is recorded in the correct place, it sounds fine in playback.
Really not sure what's going on. I've been looking round on the interwebs, and it seems that others are having the same issue, but I couldn't find any answers that fixed it for me. Any help would be appreciated
I am running Logic 10.0.7 on a MacBook Pro, using Mavericks.
Thanks in advance

This isn't just the first time after I select the track though, even if the track is in live mode it will still have this issue, if I record over and over on the same track, it happens every time. If I hit record, then use pitch bend or something like that during the count in it will be fine, but I have to do this every time I record, and it will create the new region early. I could do this every time I record, but I'm wondering if there's something else I can do to fix it more permanently.
Thanks for the help

    & the delay is only present after i add an audio track to the session.
    Just to be clear.. no plugins anywhere in the project, including the master bus?
    If you select a software instrument track and play a few notes/chords before recording on that track you get the 1st note problem?  What is your Preferences/Audio "I/O Buffer Size" set at?
    Logic X does have considerably more overhead than Logic 9 but I don't think this is the problem.
    For testing:
    Preferences/Audio/Devices  I/O Buffer = 128
    "                                  "     Recording Delay = 0 (this setting should always be zero)
    "                                  "    Software Monitoring = Off
    Preferences/Audio/General Tab   Track/Mute = Slow Response-CPU Saving)
    "                                          "   Sample Accurate Automation = Volume, Pan Sends
    "                                          "   Recording File Type = Wave (BWF) or AIFF
    "                                          "   Plugin Latencey Compensation = Audio & Software Instrument Tracks.
    Reboot the computer before testing.

  • Why i can't see any image on flickr. That happens most of the times but not always? Both Safari and Firefox

    Why i can't see any image on flickr.
    That happens most of the times but not always?
    Both, on Safari and Firefox i experience the same problem!
    I reseted Safari but seems to be useless

    You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
    *Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
    *Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
    *Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
    *Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
    *Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
    *If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

  • Why is the first video frame black?

    Why is the first frame black?  How can I fix this?  When I edit a video, which includes removing the first second, and render it using medium quality H.264, the first frame is black in QuickTime, and the first second or two of video is black in HTML5 Video on the web.  When I load it in PS CS6 Extended, the first frames do not appear black.  When I render in low quality I don't get black frames but HTML5 Video looks terrible in Internet Explorer.   Thanks.

  • Please help! why is the DVD burner not burning dual layer media in my G5?

    I have tried, unsuccessully, to burn dual layer DVD's on my G5 using the latest iDVD software (iLife '08) but to no avail. I switch to dual layer in iDVD but invaribly, I always get a multiplexing error at the end of the burn. Any suggestions?

    Are there any plans to update OS 10.4.11 to include a firmware update for the DVD drive? Or has it already been changed in Leopard?
    Depending on what model of Superdrive you have, there may be a firmware update from the manufacturer, just not from Apple. Updating to the latest firmware from the manufacturer often provides for better media compatibility, faster burn speeds, and sometimes even features that were disabled by Apple's version of the firmware.
    DVD-R DL discs have one major drawback if you're using them to burn video DVDs - you have no control over where the layer break is placed. The first layer must always be filled completely before any data is written to the second layer. DVD+R DL does not have this limitation. You can place the layer break anywhere you like, just as long as the first layer is more full than the second.

  • Why does the iPad Mini not have music play count?

    I bought an iPad Mini and also have a macbook. I had listened to various music on my iPad Mini the other day, however when I connected the iPad Mini to the Macbook and iTunes via the lightning connector to sync, it synced the ratings I gave the songs I listened to on the mini, but no play count, as if I had not listened to anything. I hope there is something I can do about this as I often look at my play count!!

    It should work work but these kind of bugs pop up between updates, both hardware and software. Try closing all apps in the recently used list on the iPad. Double tap the Home button, tap and hold one of the icons at the bottom till they wiggle then tap the to close them. Tap the Home button to get back to the Home screen then hold the sleep button till you see the slide to power off message. Once it has powered down completely hold the Sleep button till the Apple icon appears.

    Does it even really matter...?
    Many people including myself rely on playcounts to control smart playlist to manage large libraries. Smart playlists can be created to show your most or least played tracks and used more or less as your favorites or other uses. Along with playcounts the date is transferred so to keep a fresh list of music on my smaller iPods a smart playlist set to songs not played in the last month keeps some fresh tunes on it.
    Playcounts are also used to manage Podcasts in iTunes to delete older episode. Bookmarks, which can also be effected by this, can mess up audiobooks, movies and podcast playback between different devices. So yes, it does matter.

    I'm trying to print out a credit card statement from my iPad, it only prints the first page not the 4 pages, please help

    I read your first post when I was posing a separate question on the Mac Pro board.  I now see that we may be talking about printing from an iPad with Airprint instead!!!!!  I very much suspect the print command and settings are different for Airprint but I have never used it to be able to offer concrete advice.  I think the setting choices could be different even with Airprint on the laptop and further that you may not even be using Safari but some special app???
    I've not heard or seen the term "frame" in the context of printing before except perhaps in the context of a screen shot.  Is the credit card statement a "pop-up" of some kind rather than a webpage or pdf?

    Why is the scroll function not working after accessing the voice feature in settings?

    For some prerecorded audio files the Transpose slider will not work reliably. I found no clear pattern, when it does and when not.
    If all fails, create a loop from the audio file. Select the region in the track and use the command "File: Add region to Loop library".
    Set the current key and tempo, name the loop, and save the loop.
    Now add it from the loop browser to a new track and delete your old track. The search field in the Loop browser will help you to find the loop quickly.
    You will be able to transpose the sample as described above, like a regular loop.
    For example - a audio file turned into a loop and transposed:

    The exclamation mark is telling you that iPhoto has broken the file path/link to the original file. Assuming you're using iPhoto 9 or later Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

    It may be in the process of making room.  What version of OSX are you on?    (That process can be excruciatingly slow on Leopard or Snow Leopard backups over a network;  Lion has improved it greatly.)
    A clue may be lurking in your logs.  Use the widget in #A1 of  Time Machine - Troubleshooting to display the backup messages from your logs.   That should help you figure out what's going on.  If in doubt, copy and post them here (but if the same ones repeat over and over, drop most of the duplicates).
    If you can, connect via Ethernet; it will be 2-3 times faster.
