Pro Tools Quantizing On It's Own?

When I sync protools to my MPC I've noticed it's been adding a weird swing to my beats. I have a couple tracks with quantization but no swing on my mpc but when I record it in protools i has a swing feel to it. I checked the midi on protools and the quantization is off, any idea what it could be?

I'm having a similar problem. anytime i use a swing of over 50% in my mpc's sequence and try to trigger it with protools, protools quantizes my track to some other crazy $hit...i end up having to manually track anything that i make with a swing without the precision of the midi sync.....any help????

DAM GUYS!! a lotta looks but no replies!!!

Sync your MPC to Pro Tools using MTC(Midi Time Code). I was having the same issue this weekend and took a few hours to trouble shoot

will try to post some audio examples of the difference between the sync using MTC and the sync using Beat Clock. Beat clock adds a very strange swing.

Setup Pro Tools as the Master for MTC. Make sure that the session in Pro Tools is set to use MTC. you will notice that MTC is a lot tighter sounding.

Make sure you have atleast V1.2x on your MPC

i'll check it out, i've only seen the option for midi beat clock on my hd 6.x, but i'll see when i hit the lab in the morning

buy the jj os

I see that's becoming your standard response in the 2500 forums. ME guessin' that you are posting work arounds not solutions. Blah blah blah blah, god Im bored.

that's exactly what I thought.

i know you said thar quantize in pro tools was off, but there are a few different set ups of quantize in pro tools. check to see if the midi quantize while playing and insertion is off...

It doesn´t matter if you use AKAI or JJ OS. Use MTC to sync and you won´t have that problem anymore...
