Two year later you want to restore this session, but you don't remember
the jackd settings you used. Originally audio and MIDI tracks were in
sync, when you used 10.7 ms I+O latency. Within the years you got new
hardware, you don't remember what latency you once used and starts jackd
with a lower I+O latency. Nothing bad would happen for Ardour users, but
a Qtractor user would run into sync issues. Am I mistaken?
i really don't get why it would have worse or better sync depending on
jackd latency settings. please forgive me, but i don't see it directly
related to the case of audio vs. midi sync...
though, in the special case that comes to mind, iif the alsa-midi timer
is slaved to a pcm sound-device, as against to the system or hires timer
for instance, you probably will get it different whether running on
disparate buffer-sizes, periods and/or sample-rates, that's for
granted--well, if you change the sample-rate across sessions you will
get prompted to convert into a brand new and different session anyhow ;)
