Metaevents happening too early

[Pepillo]

Hi!

I've been using Logic for a while and a couple years back I started using it as my main DAW for live performance. It was super easy with metaevents but since Logic was updated to 10.7 I'm having a lot of issues with MIDI and especially with metaevents.

The main problem is that metaevents are happening earlier than when I want them to happen. Say I put a "Stop" metaevent at bar (16 1 1 1) well Logic will stop it at (15 3 4 123). Just an example, I don't know how many miliseconds of "earliness" it has, but it happens with all metaevents, and it didn't happen in previous versions.

Anyway, metaevents were not the only problem with MIDI I had when updated. Every MIDI signal sent to any device was happening early, so I looked everywhere for solutions and it was simply a problem with Latency Compensation checkbox at the External Instrument. I also deactivated the "listen" checkbox in MIDI inputs to avoid feedback that also seemed to cause latency problems. So I tried to replicate this solution with Metaevents, trying to compensate latency but I don't know where does this MIDI Metaevent arrives and it is becoming very hard to me to build a live show in Logic because It doesn't stop on time and it doesn't jump to markers on time… a huge pain in the a**.

I know metaevents are not a popular thing, but if you do know what's the problem, can you PLEASE help me figure this out? Or I just simply accept it's a bug?

Did you check the delay setting in the region / track inspectors?

The same thing you describe already happens in 10.2.2 at least (don't have any earlier versions to try) so whilst this may be a bug, it's certainly not a new one.
