Heya,

I've been looking at tutorials and stuff but I can't seem to find a solution to what seemingly appears to be a simple problem

When I've got my sample loaded, I try to manually record the beat to the sample (I prefer this method to using the redrum patterns). So anyway, what I do is loop the sample and then I use my keyboard to do the drum beat. Since obviously I'm not a machine, I naturally enable the "quantize during recording" box but my problem is that when I do so, it skips some of the beats so I end up with either the beats being misplaced on the track or a "minimalist" version of what I intended (hence the beat skipping). I tried recording with 1/64, 1/32, 1/16, ... next to the magnet icon but it doesn't change the end result. (btw what does the "T" stand for when you have 1/16 and 1/16 T ?)

Am I doing something wrong?

Greg.

I'm not sure but I believe the T stands for triple time, it's basically forcing compound meter in a simple meter scheme (supposing you're using 2/4, 4/4 time sig etc).

I'd highly recommend not using the quantize during recording because it is going to get all jacked up in the way you described. Don't be scared to record something, or even record with quantize if you want and then nudge all the notes around until they are perfectly timed. In most cases, I'll just draw note events out for drums to make sure they are 100% accurate (if that's what's necessary).

Best of luck

Yeah I rarely record drum sequences from my keyboard. It's a lot easier and cleaner to use the redrum's step sequencer.
