Re: Notion's MIDI import seems to be really poor

Yes the realtime MIDI recording is just not accurate enough for current use. You cannot use it as you would a sequencer. Moreover it doesn't even present you with a count-in which is bizarre. You have to allow a bar or two before starting recording. Even very simple tunes are not recorded accurately and in addition the editing possibilities within the sequencer staff are very limited compared to a sequencer. To make matters worse the inaccurate performance you have already achieved recording using a sequencer staff is made even more inaccurate when you convert it to notation in Notion 3. By way of comparison I recorded in realtime using Sibelius and although the notation was not as clean as I would have liked at least it played back accurately what I had played in along with timing subtleties.
Notion 3 must address this issue with urgency if it is really to make a realistic claim to be a bridge between a DAW and a notation program.
