See below for feature Request Hi. In other DAWs, you can record-enable a MIDI track and hit record (obviously in destructive, non-overdub mod) and it will erase MIDI notes (and/or cc) passing underneath the playhead while recording. In Cubase, for some reason, this seems impossible, and it only rec…

Don’t want the Midi track, select it and hit delete, don’t want particular notes doubleclick the track and select the parts you don’t want and hit delete, it’s as simple as that! If I want to visit the house to my left I go left, not go right and travel around the world to get to the house on the l…

I guess the Replace otion for the MIDI Recording Mode is the closest to what you want to achieve in Cubase: [grafik] You’ll have to set up the Locators first.

Exactly … MIDI Record Modes - Cubase Pro - 15.0 By selecting a MIDI Record Mode , you decide what happens to any existing parts on the track where you are recording. MIDI tracks can play back all events in overlapping parts. If you record several parts in the same locations or move part…

Yeah so thanks @MrSoundman and @Johnny_Moneto for helping with my question. I did try these options already and they simply do not work. If you have the time, please try what you’re suggesting. Make a MIDI pattern, use the recommended transport setting and then play it back while hitting Record on…

Hi @pubase Are we back to my long since request for midi tracks to behave like audio tracks during record? It’s been YEARS, and still nothing. Others have asked too. [image] Can Midi Lanes act like Audio Lanes with auto-mute of earlier overlaid takes Cubase I…

I did, but maybe I am not understanding it? I figured you meant locators that define with cyclic recording/playback. If it’s something else, please let me know.

I saw your thread with no replies! Feel your pain. People who don’t use this don’t know how useful it is. It amazes me more people aren’t bothered. Maybe it’s an old-school method for those of us who grew up with sequencers and DAWs where record always means erase (if not specifically in overdub mod…

@pubase did you try the ‘workaround’ @Raino posted? [image] Note Erase Cubase The attached shows a Macro that will do this. Build it on your DAW and assign it to a Keystroke, rev your engines & start deleting. [delete under cursor.jpg] [image]

Hi @steve and @raino - yes I did try it. Brilliant attempt and thank you, but it’s a little strange. First, make sure you’re in Editor in Lower Zone, otherwise it deletes the whole part in the timeline. No big deal. I’ve noticed when you delete a note with chosen macro key command (let’s call the …
