Hello,

Using Musical Timebase does not limit you to quantize all of your midi. It merely allows your midi to follow changes in the Tempo Track. I hope this helps.




Hi,

The answer does help but I really can't understand why, regardless, when I'm using quantise, that notwithstanding the timebase in use; it effects the locator positions at all.

Thank you

I think maybe we should recap this:

If the timeline is dispalying bars and beats, changes to the Tempo will affect the L and R locators.

If the timeline is displaying seconds, changes to the Tempo will not affect the L and R locators.

The reason for this is related to the display of the L and R. If you notice in the Transport bar, when the timeline changes, so does the display of the L and R. If you change the Tempo of the project, then the bars and beats will have to follow it. Conversely, the seconds do not change when you change the tempo.

I hope this clarifies the two modes of viewing the L and R locators. Thank you.

Thanks for the reply.

I have found the issue to be one of which when all tracks are using linear time, irrespective of whether or not there is any audio, that if I have a project which has a fixed tempo and then I decide to activate the Tempo Track, which has the same tempo as the fixed tempo in the Transport Bar, then the locator positions do change and I don't think there is any reason why they should.

Hmmm, they could have matched tempos, but the Tempo track version could have been changed at say bar 4, this would cause the L and R to move.

Send me the project and I'll see if it does it on my system.

Hi Chris,

I'd like to know what you think because I believe that if this problem was somehow able to be "fixed", then it would mean that one could move transparently between musical and linear time, providing of course that in the very least a quantise value is used for all MIDI notes on a page.

Thanks again

I'd like to know the reason why I must hit the . every time I load a project 3 times.

You have to hit "." after loading the project for the third time? Does this happen in multiple projects? Why "."? Does an error message come up?

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your reply.

It does happen with multiple projects and the behaviour appears intermittent.

Well, I'm stumped on why "." would be helpful in this situation. I'd suggest trashing your application data. Go to the Start menu, All Programs, Cubase Studio 4, Cubase Studio 4 application data. Trash the files and folders inside this folder, this will remove your preferences, key commands, templates etc. See if this removes the problem.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your reply.

The . (dot) I press after a project has loaded is the period in the alpha-numeric section of a typical keyboard, which changes from time based mode, samples etc., and I am wondering why I must do this upon every (sometimes) project load.

Thank you
