Hi Dave. Been doing some testing on my own. I have McAfee installed on my laptop. I don't connect my laptop to the web. Basically, I have a desktop which is attached to the web where I "audition" midis. If I like them, I put them on a smartcard then transfer them over to my laptop. I disabled McAfee on my laptop and had no intermittent stopping of midis, yet??? Any feedback from you regarding virus software affecting midi files when they are being played???:)

Thanks Dave. Thank you for responding.

I thought ??? it might be the Midiman Midi interface via the 25pin parallel connection vs. today's USB connections. I do have a USB port on my laptop.:unsure:

The easy answer is to say - dunno, probably something to do with running a 10yo operating system.

But that's taking the easy way out. I'm really not sure how to debug this - anyone else got ideas?

Dave.

Sound "stops" when playing through Sequencer.

When I play midi files through my rig: Dell laptop running win98(yeah kinda dated); Cakewalk Guitar Tracks II software; midiman midi interface(using parallel 25 pin printer port); Triton LE; Phonic PA System,

I notice randomly a song will stop playing for a split second then continue playing again. Sometimes it may stop again before the song is done or, play all the way through without stopping again. Why could this be happening??? :unsure:
