External FX Ping with RME Interfaces Still Not Fixed

Ok - an issue here - I’m confused…

  1. I tried using an external hardware plugin on a drum buss (cubase reports 0ms, so I leave it like that for now)
  2. I export the drum buss and reimport into the project
  3. I look at the snare track compared with the exported/imported drum buss file to see how the timing compares, and I notice that the drum buss export is slightly EARLY! Why is it early??? Shouldn’t it be slightly LATE?

I’m confused… not sure why it’s early…
