Hi, I'm new to the forum, but I imagine many people are aware of the MIDI clock sync bug with audio tracks. (It produces a lot of clicking noises.) I found a workaround that you've probably also discovered: bouncing the audio track to a sample and playing it over a drum track.

However, when I delete the audio track or several audio tracks and try to sync them with MIDI clock in my DAW, in this case Cubase, it stutters terribly during export and is unusable. I assume the audio must still be in memory. The technique I've found is to save the project, restart the MPC, and then reload the project, and then there are no problems. If anyone knows a better technique, please let me know.
