Sonar free quantize

[Ted B]

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?

As far as I know, nothing has changed within Quantize between CbB and Sonar - is this quantize via the Quantize Dialog, or Input Quantize?

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:

Thanks. It was off as I suspected. There are some things I never use.

Maybe share a copy of the project with just that one track in it.
