Reaper, Live and Renoise all fail this test at various points. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>To give more detail, I have a couple of hardware sequencers that will get clock from the DAW. MIDI should be routed back into the DAW and recorded (probably go to the daw then back out). My drum machine of choice is Maschine these days, so the DAW has to run that as well. I would like to be able to record audio and MIDI from the sequencers and the synths they are driving. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>My audio interface can handle this, and I have enough MIDI ports for what I want to do. The issue is that none of the DAWS I have seem to be able to do this and keep things in time. Reaper lets me record the MIDI, but it doesnt echo it back out. Renoise can only send clock to one MIDI port, and doesnt handle long linear tracks at all. Live just makes me want to punch someone - nothing comes out synchronized at all despite getting clock from the same place. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Can the new Sonar handle this?
