I have a clip that I used a little bit of sustain pedal in when I created it, and when I export my arrange view as an aif, this particular clip holds the sustain through the whole thing. No other clip has this issue, and it doesn't happen in live view or when i'm listening back to arrange view, only when I export the track mixdown and then listen to it as an aif.

any ideas? is there a way to remove the sustain pedal completely? i don't see it as an available edit point in the midi view.

Actually, I just discovered this is really iTunes hacking it up when it converts from aif to mp3 and when i listen back in quicktime. How is that even possible? AIF doesn't store midi data??

So, I looked up the definition of AIFF and apparently it has the ability to store midi data as well. I had no idea. So somewhere in the export of the AIFF it's storing some erroneous information about the release of these notes. I'll export as wav instead and it should be fixed.
