Is this really true?
I have to nutch e-ve-ry recording a bit to the right before quantizing.
Sometimes I record a performance in muliple takes, 2 bars, then the next 2 bars etc.
If the midi would be in the place were I thought I put them I could work a lot faster.
But between every take I have to adjust the timing in the editor.
I always thought this was a hardware/software issue as you mentioned and learned to live with it.
Consider another thing, I noticed when I drag the notes to the right, the controller lanes do not move in conjunction.
Precision modulation and pitchbend will go out of sync because of this.
And:
Applying controllers like modulation/pedals/pitchbend applying on top of an existing quantized midi performance
will also be out of sync.
