Starting a clip before the first note


DallasSteve

Question

I want to create a MIDI groove clip (looping) that starts with a small silence at the beginning.  I recorded some notes in real time and my first note was at 1:01:026.  I want to leave the 026 gap at the start and have a length of 8:00:000.  When I edited the clip to start at 1:01:000 Cakewalk moved all the notes forward 026 so the first note started at 1:01:000.  That's not what I want.

I tried reading the documentation about editing MIDI clips and I don't see this covered.   So I thought of a scheme to get what I want.  I created an extra note and I moved it to 1:01:000.  Then I bounced the clip and set it to loop.  Then I deleted the extra note and I checked the start time and lengths.  They are 1:01:000 and 8:00:000.  I checked and the first note starts at 1:01:026.

It looks like my scheme worked.  Is there a easier/better way to do what I wanted to do?
