Do the tracks start out right then slowly go out of sync? Did you check your sample rates? Is the dvd file data or is it dvd-audio? Remember that dvd audio is usually 48 or 96 khz. Also check if the dvd drive is operating in DMA, not PIO, mode (look in drive properties).
yeeeeessss. that was the freaky thing. they start out wrong then catch up and then be all messed up again at some point.
the tracks that did these were the ones with the NEW uad plugs. maybe the new plugs and the card are still in getting-to-know-you-mode? haha, is that possible? sayang talaga because i was planning to pick up a couple of these plugs since i have a 150-dollar voucher (they did everything i wanted them to do effortlessly!) but if they will mess up my cubase file this way then it's not worth the trouble. or maybe an additional uad pcie card will fix this?

kit, the dvd was data, but i havent checked if it's on dma or not (will do that in a few). there were other weird stuff the new system did like dropping the vocal buss and each time i reconnected bus 7/8 on my rme via "connections" on cubase, it put the vocal track on overdive mode (it was suddenly distorted and LOUD). this was fixed by closing cubase and reopening the file. that occured once and i was thinking maybe it was a "getting-to-know-you" quirk? i have a strange feeling that this is happening because:
1) i used templates (i noticed that a cubase is less quirky if u start from scratch --- no templates!
)
2) the files originally came from another location
im hoping that these weird things will disappear when i actually record the tracks on the new system.
THE GOOD THINGS:
yes, it IS fast. almost 100 tracks and a handful of cpu-hungry plugs and we're still going going going! rewind, forward and playback is instantaneous. no chocking to near death, no hiccups, etc. loading of plugs are instantaneous as well. opening HEAVY files are done in a matter of seconds, unlike in my old system where i can still pop something in the microwave, have a cozy little chat with the clients whilst drinkng tea, before the file actually loads ... and crashes.
