Okay, I hit record and when it gets to measure one, I record just straight 1/4 note bass drum notes along with the metronome click for 8 measures, on time. The click sound and the position bar are not in sync, regardless of using speakers or headphones through AK1. First thing you notice is that the metronome click and the position bar are not on track. I hit record with a two measure lead in, and a metronome poly-click. I load up a simple plugin like Massive or a battery drum kit. However, when I use the regular factory Mac in/out (no audio interface), I get no lag.

I get the same lag with Garageband, and get the same lag with the Guitar Rig Kontroller as an audio interface as well. It is a lag of midi notes that get recorded. It is not a midi latency issue with pressing a key or lagging note-to-sound issue with the Axiom keyboard, NI Mashine, or any other controller. Since then, I get a bad lag for about the first 8 measures when I record. Uninstalled, reinstalled AK1 drivers, USB drivers a few times, service center, new cords, shut downs, restarts, every common thing you can think of. I never had any issues until I switched to the AK1.

I recently switched from the firewire Apogee Duet to the USB NI Audio Kontrol 1.

It was the first time I was treated like some sort dumba$$ and like it was my fault, and I was bothering them with my issues. I talked to NI tech twice, with not being helped at all. Well, I am using an iMac 2.4 dual, 4gb RAM, Logic Pro 9.1.3 with an Axiom Pro 49, Machine, X1, Traktor Pro, Guitar Rig 4 w/controller, and Native Instruments Komplete 7.
