Re: remove quantize in Cubase?

[Scott]

There are a couple of things to note regarding quantizing in the drum editor in Cubase.

[*]If Snap is deactivated on the toolbar, the note will appear exactly where you clicked. In this mode, notes can be positioned freely.[*]If Snap is activated and Use Global Quantize is deactivated on the toolbar, the note will snap to positions according to the quantize value set for the sound in the drum sound list. You can set up different quantize values for different drum sounds. (You may for example want hi-hat notes snap to sixteenth notes, but snare and bass drum snap to eighth notes.)[*]If both Snap and Use Global Quantize are activated, the note will snap to positions according to the Quantize setting on the toolbar (next to the Use Global Quantize button).

If you want to just point and click a drum hit in without quantizing at all, just make sure Snap is deactivated (in the pic below, Snap is ‘activated’).
