    Hi folks, long time lurker and midi user but short time Cubase user.

    The problem, or solution, is most likely simple and is connected to
    project setup. I imported a .wav to add tracks to added an instrument
    track using Hyper-Canvas to record a keyboard track.
    If I start recording, for example at 8 bars in, the first note
    recorded jumps back to the beginning of the track instead of where I
    start recording...argg. I can of course slide the completed track but
    sometimes some of the first notes are truncated too, but not
    always..argg again.

    After stumbling through some setup snags with my computer and my
    lizard brain, CuBase is running smooth and I can't believe I waited
    all these years before I got serious with it.

    Thanks all,

    One or both of the following may work:
    1. Is Auto-Quantize on? There is a button in the Transport bar. If there
    isn't, right-click on the transport bar and select "Record mode".
    2. In Devices/Device Setup/Midi port setup, experiment with turning
    "System timestamp" on or off.

    Does this help?

    Jos.

    Ahh so, It was the "Midi timestamp" that did it and Jos., I am
    grateful for your help!

    Just curious, was it on and did you turn it off, or the other way
    around? I have it turned off at the moment.

    Good to see that it works,

    Jos.

    It was un-checked Jos and I think the auto-quantize may have been on,
    because that is one thing I had tried and so I just left it on.

    thanks again--leo
