My samples are already mostly less that a minute in length. The problem is that they trigger early, at least according to a TC window dub tape I made for testing purposes. After 30 minutes, they are triggering about 2 seconds before the TC where the sample is entered in the CueList. However, the results of my experiment in slowing my system down, and having the sound return to the speed at which it was recorded, makes me believe there is something to what you say about the SCSCI controller. There is a difference between what GVP says the DMA Mask setting MUST be set at, and what Sunrize recommends, although I have actually tried that with both settings and it doesn't make any difference. Even when I slowed the system down, I had the same timing error. The discouraging news is that I have been e-mailing back and forth with one of SunRize's beta testers who has been having the same problem. He has similar equipment to mine (i.e. same computer, GVP card, etc.) but he has both the 1012 and 516 cards. I have only the 1012. I am going to send my most recent findings to Tech support at Sunrize and see what they make of it. I am waiting for their SMPTE output module, hoping that would solve the problem, but this beta tester is using the module, and he is still having the same problem. The really odd thing is that most users of the boards and software aren't experiencing this difficulty. If I could only lay my finger on the area in the setup that is causing the problem, I could probably find a fix to it. I may go back to ver 2.0 to test it there, and complete this project … but after using 3.0, it is a real PITA to go back.
