Turn off all quantise!!!

[aod]

Hi,

I'd like to turn off all quantise and snap in Cubase SX 1.1.

I'm recording drums from a Roland electronic kit as a controller, on to a MIDI track. I'm not using a click, as I'm playing along to an external audio source. I'm finding that when I go back to the MIDI track I recorded, the notes are automatically quantised, and represent nothing like what I played.

I'm finding this increasingly frustrating, as I'm doing take after take, having thought I'd fixed it (after a test), only to go back to find it's all been screwed up. The snap button is off (don't even know if this effects it). What other settings are there to remove all quantisation or snapping. I thought quantising could only be applied after the MIDI data was inputted, not during.

Any help appreciated!

Look in the bottom left of the transport bar. An autoquantize button should be there somewhere.

Thanks, yeah there's an AQ button, but it's off, and always has been...

Cubase doesn't quantize by default. I'm not sure how to set it up to change the notes after you play but before it's recorded. I think you can set it up to quantize as you play but you would hear it quantized as you record.I don't know how to do it offhand. Are you monitoring through cubase that would let you hear what's going on. Try and read the help and find out how to quantize in real time and see if your setup that way in preferences/options/devices/somewhere. Something strange it going on and you have to do some detective work to find what's going on. Can you record midi from a keyboard ok?

I doubt you have quantize problems, more like sync problems, are you using midi clock to get these machines together?
