Jon,
thanks for the reply but I'm not actually trying to record the data I'm just
trying to edit the sound, It's not just happening on delay time but other FX
parameters, its as if its kind of in a loop, like I'm changing the
parameter, it's being sent to Cubase, then being sent back to the AN! Why
has it decided to start now
