Help me please :(

Post by rushofblood » Sat Jul 08, 2006 10:43 am

So I recorded some drum tracks, I didn't want any quantization or warping, so I just left the tempo at 120 and rolled. But here's the problem, I put triggers on the drums, sending out to a Roland TD-6 module, and recorded a midi track of that triggered information, thinking I could send the midi track back into the module and record the audio from that for some thicker stuff.

However, it got quantized or something, right? So now the midi tracks don't line up at allll with how the actual song is supposed to go, is there a way I can fix that by making it not try to fit the live set's tempo or am I screwed?

You can of course turn off quantization in Live! But you will have to re record those tracks unfortunately.

Hi Rushofbllod,

Try to going into the menu "edit>record quantization" and switch the record quantization to off.

Hope this will help

Well my preferences seem to keep getting themselves deleted, as I thought I had that off, oh well :(

But bottom line is, if I want this stuff on time, I'd have to re-record it?

the first undo step after recording removes the quantisaton in case you forgot to turn it off.

yep...that's a secret i noticed right away. if you mess up and accidentally record with quantization, live gives you a get outta jail free card in the form of 'undo quantization' as your immediate undo option. noice!
