clearly you have no idea who Jeff McClintock is, or you

I do use licensed software. I am quite anti-piracy and have made submissions
to the government on the subject, even got a letter published in PC World
magazine.
Off-Topic: IMHO Piracy hurts Linux by providing a competing 'low cost'
alternative to *real* free (FOSS) software.

If so, than pardon :). Anyway strange, a lot of the famous studios did
use Cubase without getting jitter for soft synth, today those studios do
use Nuendo. I never experienced jitter for soft synth, when using Cubase
and I do hear allegedly inaudible jitter when using external MIDI
devices.

I don't know how most people work these days, in my experience, one tends to
have the MIDI stuff sequenced and arranged already when arriving at the
studio, in which case "live" MIDI latency and jitter are no issues.

There has to be quite a bit of jitter before one actually hears it as such,
and as to fixed latency, tolerances are even higher.
Most people apparently don't even hear the "random" timing that's
applied to
anything you play on a hardware synth driven via standard MIDI - but if you're
used to oldschool trackers and other software with sample accurate timing, you
can tell something is "off".
(Obviously, this would be next to impossible to notice unless we're dealing
with 100% quantized electronic music. "Human feel" would probably mask
anything that's off by less than one or two ms or so.)
As to live playing, I doubt a normal human being would even know what (s)he's
missing before actually trying something with sub 3 ms latency and sub 1 ms
jitter. You can't hear the difference, but you can certainly feel it! I
suspect drummers would be particularly sensitive to this.

Nobody will bear costs for sequencing and arranging MIDI files in the
studio ;).
At the moment I'm supervising elementary school children, but working as
an audio engineer, but I'm quite sure you're right.
Anyway, jitter is a problem regarding to the feeling, when arranging a
song. For good reasons the Jazz musicians I know, don't use MIDI
sequencers.
