Your problem is latency. I assume you are using a factory sound card and very likely, the default MME sound drivers. This works OK for BB and RB as long as synths are not in the picture. My lappy runs MME (sound card driver)and the PG software just fine..... but when I go to RB and have any synths (midi tracks) in the project, the latency is horrendous on the factory card and MME.

You can try increasing the buffers and lower the latency settings. Sometimes that will help.

Another option is to try ASIO4ALL. It's a band-aid sort of solution. Sometimes it works and sometimes not.

The best solution is to upgrade to a better "pro-audio" interface for musical purposes. They use ASIO drivers and once you install it, the problem of "delayed tracks" goes away since they are able to handle the processing of synths in real time. My studio DAW is running a Focusrite interface without issues. Essentially no latency for all practical purposes.

Delaying the other tracks is one workaround, but it's a PITB to do every time. An interface will fix that issue.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
