Suddenly, today the notes just don't render correctly after an attempted midi edit. The audio comes in early now.
The out of synch audio, once transformed back to a midi/instrument track, still shows this section of midi notes where they were originally placed correctly on the edit>piano roll grid.
Upon closing and re-opening the song without a save. The bounced audio returns back to where it was intended, but can't be edited without going out of synch again upon any attempt to transform>bounce the instrument track.
I tested other midi instrument tracks in the same song. They are not being affected in the same way.
This affected intro section is on a separate midi take from the rest of the instrument track in the song.
