Why? I mean why does it cause a problem?
Cubase 7.5.20 also exhibits this behavior, as does Cubase 6.5.5
You can manually turn-off the “Record Enable” while using the MIDI editor, but as you say… I don’t seem to be able to find a control to make “Record Enable - OFF” the default condition.
But again… why is this condition a problem? I mean… I haven’t noticed a problem where this condition has caused me to record over parts that I wanted to keep unless I did it by accident… but that’s what the undo function is for!
