I purchased Cubase Pro 14 but am still working in 12 for now, though maybe 14 has a solution to this - or not.
I’ve been using ChatGPT to solve a decent amount of Cubase queries/issues and tried with this one. Had various possible solutions (Automation Panel, Macros) suggested but none work for this particular issue.
Which I stated as:
In the Key Editor one can set the grid quantizing so that when on adds or moves a note, it snaps to the grid. Is there a way to have this occur in the Project window when one adds or moves an automation point?
Manually adding a point is hit and miss and very rarely if ever according to the chosen quantizing.
For example, manually adding a Input Filter - PreGain at bar 119 exactly (119. 1. 1. 0) can result in slightly after or before, i.e. 118. 4. 4. 16.
This becomes tedious for I have to keep going up to change the Start value to the desired exact one - 119. 1. 1. 0 in this case. And for 99% of manually added nodes on any automation lines…
The quantizing works when an exact value such as 119. 1. 1. 0 is moved left or right along the timeline of the automation such as using Ctrl Left/Right Arrow in Windows. But that doesn’t solve the initial issue.
At the end of the “dialogue” with ChatGPT it suggested that maybe this would come under a feature request. But that may be irrelevant, or not.
Whatever the case, any solutions/workarounds welcomed.
Maybe I’m missing something very obvious…
