    after spending hours with a clean install and stuff i came up with this :

    switching LOOP OFF does matter as it seems !!!
    when loop switched off i didn’t have this issue with a dropped or too early first note
    when loop switched on i get this issue in about 50% of all recordings

    what a pity – a sequencer that can’t record in loop is rather useless isn’t it ???

    Precisely!

    In my case, I rarely use the loop recording. I don’t work like that. If I need to play something “live” and I have to redo – I repeat the rpocess. If i need to do a “layer” type – think drums – I simply draw it in the midi editor.

    So, I guess it’s all about workflow. A sequencer without loop record is just fine to me.

    The strange problem I remembered (and now confirmed) is that I have trouble getting the first input note recorded at all if it is played close to the start of a bar.
    This happens only when a new sequence is created by the recording – NOT when I record with a sequence already present on the track and the recorded notes get added to it. (Frits, if you need any more info, just tell me once you get back!)

    Other than that, I didn’t notice any timing-related problems… If and when the first played note was recorded, it was on time. 😕

    Thanks. I managed to reproduce and fix this problem. It happens when recording short notes that starts before the bar line and ends after the bar line. I just released 3.0.2 with a fix for this. I could not detect any “bad” timing, only the occasional dropped first note.

    did some further testing : switching “Use time stamp from driver” ON and setting ASIO buffers to 256 samples did improve things ( Loop on or off does not affect things atm ) – issues occur less often but didn’t solve-

    but still Podium “feels a little different” when recording beats with my MPD18 compared to Live – for lack of better words ( i’m not talking about auto quantize !!! )
    but things did improve and Podium
