extend quantizing audition length?

does anyone find the quantizing in sonar woefully inadequate. no snap-to while recording, i was just informed, (cubase has this) only positive swing no negative, and the most frustrating, the audition length doesn't even cover a full bar usually. plus you can't adjust any parameter in real time. can any of these things be adjusted particularly the audition time length? and cakewalk if you're listening how bout some real time features for quantizing, i mean even frikkin' fruity loops has this!

thanks loopjunkie. always very helpful. any solutions for tweaking audition parameters in real time? or am i out of luck on that one?

i'm sorry andrew what is "cakewalk quantize mfx"? is that a separate program for sonar that isn't included? different than the midi fx quantize and groove quantize that came with sonar 3 producer edition? i want to make adjustments to the quantizing parameters after i hit the audition button and hear the changes in real time. can what you're talking about, do this? and how can i get it, or do i have it already and don't know? thanks

wow, that's better. i had no idea you could do that. still a little limited no doubt, no clipboard or presets, no bypass? weird, doesn't visually edit on the piano roll, but i'm not complaining, better than nothing. gonna check to see if it works while recording to snap the notes where they belong. thanks for educating guys, really appreciate it..............man, no bypass, alright i am complaining a little....

thanks andrew, i actually figured out the start times thing as a bypass after a while. but the other thing, that's knowledge man, thank you. you've been a great help.
