Global Launch Quantization Problem with 3/4 Beat

Post by Shibamuetze » Tue Feb 07, 2023 10:32 am

Hi everyone!

I want to record a clip with a length of 16 Bars in a 3/4 Beat. I have global launch quantization set to 2 Bars.
However it always records a clip with a length of 16 Bars and two 4ths.

I use an AKAI MPK mini with a sustain pedal attached to it to start and stop recording of the loop. I dont have any problems with a 4/4 Beat and
shorter clip lengths in the 3/4 beat.

Edit: I use Ableton live 11.2.7 Trial

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

This Problem even arises when I am using ClyphX Pro and setting the Recording length explicitly to 16 Bars.

Do you have the global signature set to 3/4?

I set the the signature in between the metronome and phaser nudge to 3/4. I guess thats the global signature?

I was thinking that maybe it is a latency issue. In 3/4 the bpm is set to 150.
So i lowered my sample rate to 96 but it still doesnt record the correct length.
In 6/8 with a bpm of 75 i have the same problem.

yep, that's it.
I'll do a test and try to reproduce. I don't use the feature often, but I've experienced several unexpected results with the launch quantization... maybe you're facing a bug.

Yes it seems to have something to do with the launch quantization. When I leave it off it does not seem to be a problem.
