Just zoom in on the midi note and the resulting audio file in the same window and you will see. But you can really find out exactly how much compensation you need by comparing a midi note start position and a recorded audio file. I try to find the best track delay value by ear. Choir samples are typically among the slowest and need the most track delay compensation. For strings this value is usually higher than for percussion. Sometimes optimal track delay values can be found in the VI manual. A negative value in this track delay will compensate for this extra 'sample start delay' of your VI.ĭepending on the VI you use (and the type of instrument) the track delay to be compensated can vary greatly (usually somewhere between 10 and 150 ms). That is why your instrument track in your DAW besides volume and panning also has a track delay among its most basic settings. But as a result of gaining realism the sounding sample start position is a bit later than the actual programmed sample start. If they didn't the samples would 'pop in' and sound unnatural. Most VI instruments that are sample-based have a kind of natural pre-roll or pre-recorded audio at sample start. However, when using VI instruments an additional delay ( on top of your DAW system delay or audio buffer related output delay) occurs because of the timing difference between the actual 'sample start' and the 'perceived timing feel'. I think what you are finding out it is that quantizing midi notes to grid only shifts note values towards the grid.
