Sonar free quantize

After trying many remedies it's apparent that the quantize feature does not work in Sonar. Mistakes in timing are not corrected. I've used this many times in CWB without a problem. Anyone here notice that or have a solution?

drum pattern. highlight the track. open quantize under "process".  1/16 ....ok. no good.

what is input quantize?  someone else said the same thing so I checked and it was true.

If input quantize is on then the MIDI is being quantized as you record it - i.e. it'll already be quantized.  So quantizing afterwards is going to do nothing.

Input quantize can be useful if set to a fairly coarse value (such as 1/4 notes),  but if set to 1/16th notes, unless your playing is very accurate you may find notes in the "wrong" 1/16th slot.

Quantizing afterwards isn't going to help as it's already quantized. It doesn't know which notes are in the wrong positions - all it knows is the ones that are there are quantized to 1/16th notes already.

I'd recommend switching input quantize off, as the quantize dialog gives far more options for threshold/strength etc.

I don't know where input quantize is to switch on or off. Can't find it. Where do I look? Got the quantize to work a bit but not perfect. Input likely not on but let me check.

You'll find it on the Midi track:
