okay. you're all trying hard to understand, so let me try again to explain it. when I record electric guitar direct into the mbox, and then listen to what I just played during playback, the electric guitar track -- and only that track -- is about 3000 samples behind the beat. this does not happen when I record acoustic guitar (either via mic or direct into box), keyboard, vocals, or anything else. again, this is NOT a monitoring problem...even I have that part figured out. this is a playback problem. if I were to bounce a multitrack session as is (without doing the nudge), you would hear the electric guitar -- and only the electric guitar -- a bit behind the beat. it's almost as if the guitar's pickups are the source of the delay...or at least that's how it feels. btw I'm using PT LE 6.4 on G4 700MhZ thanks for all your help! fargis

I experienced this same problem, just while using the mic pre's. This leads me to believe that the problem does not lie in the fact that he is experiencing it through the 1/4" input. The problem resolved itself, as it has not occurred since then. I'm just curious as to what actually happened and what I can do if it happens again.
