When I try to use input quantize or just quantize on ProTools, the result is a choppy mess with no pedal or note sustain. The quantizing works great for drum track inputs. What am I doing wrong?

Using Protools.


Haha, I don't really mean that but I thought I would beat everybody to the punch.

I'm not sure exactly how you're quantizing, but try going to Preferences... the "Processing" tab and finding your plugin under "T/C E" and changing the setting to piano. Or musical/voice instead of percussion.

Thanks for the help. I went to "Preferences", then "processing" and TC/E, but that seems to be the end of the line - I didn't see any reference to instrument, vocals, percussion, etc. Is it because I'm using MIDI to power an external box (Kurzweil)?

Then let me ask, exactly how and what are you quantizing?

I'm trying to play a piano part to a drum track. I'm using a MIDI track and recording to two (left and right) tracks of Kurzweil grand piano.

Sorry but I still don't understand completely. So you are quantizing audio or MIDI? How? With a plug-in? What steps are you doing currently?

I'm quantizing the MIDI track and having it play a plug-in on an audio track. When I do that with my drum machine, everything works fine. It's when I play the piano using MIDI that it doesn't work.
