Recording workflow / quantize question

[MusikMan74]

I am used to recording to a 4 beat count-in. To achieve this is Radium (v5.4.7), I set the cursor to measure 4 beat 1 and press right SHIFT and SPACEBAR (with Click ON to hear the metronome):

After hearing 4 clicks, I begin playing on my midi controller.
After recording 4 bars of midi input, I press the SPACEBAR to stop recording.

Sometimes, I start recording slightly 'early' and notes appear at the bottom of the block:

After quantizing, the 'early' notes disappear and are neither placed at the start nor the end of the block.

For quantize settings, note length is unchanged and quantize value is 1/1 (which should be nearest line as I understand, in this case 1/16th note).

What am I doing wrong?
Can someone please explain what is happening here?

Thanks in advance,

Greg

Hi,

I guess what happens is that the note recorded at the very end of the block was quantitized to start at bar 5, which doesn't exist, and therefore deleted. When playing block, it seems logical that the program should have moved that note to bar 0 instead. I'm going to add a ticket to the issue tracker about this.

I guess a "modulo" option in the quantitizer GUI would be the best solution. (Added ticket: https://github.com/kmatheussen/radium/issues/1107)

Thanks! Looking forward to a future version of Radium with this feature implemented

Here's another way:

1. Move cursor to bar 1/1: Home key
2. Insert 16 lines (4 beats): Shift + Return -> 16
3. Move cursor to bar 1/1: Home key
4. Record MIDI
5. Quantize
6. Move cursor to bar 1/1: Home key
7. Delete 16 lines (4 beats): Shift + Return -> -16

Could this be a better solution? Modulo-quantization feels a bit hacky.

I'll give this workflow a spin- Thanks.
