Setting Event Start/Snap point to start of sample file

Hi.
Cubase often decides that instead of starting at the beginning of my sample file, my sample event should start an another point. This means that if I import a custom sound it will not snap to grid in the correct position because cubase thinks my event start point is not at the beginning of the file.
It’s a useful functionality, but I want to be able to turn it off, or find a shortcut to do “set event start point to beginning of sample”.

I can do it manually but I’m working with a lot of samples and it’s a time waste to have to drag the start to the beginning.

In the attached image, cubase has decided the event start point is after my sample has finished and thus when I snap it to grid it is completely mis-aligned.

Any ideas? I saw this was a bug a while back, but maybe now it’s been fixed, or there’s a solution?

Thanks a lot

This drives me absolutely bonkers as well and if there is a solution to this illogical behavior. I’d love to know.

I made myself this macro. But it only works one event after another.

It would be nice if we could find out how to reliably get the snap point to be not at the beginning of the event.
The only way for me that always does it is to punch in a recording off the beat. But in this case it actually makes sense to put the snap point on the grid.
It should not happen when importing samples, though. So if you find a reliable way to reproduce it, please let us know.
