Not completely. Quantization will stretch notes to a specific length across a 
score or portion of a score. Therefore if you choose note length to be 8th, 
then all notes will be quantized to that length. Which means that a 16th note 
gets too long, and a quarter note may not stretch enough.

You'd have to isolate to notes of a specific duration and quantize only those 
notes. This can be done, but it's pretty time-consuming. I recall it as part of 
the Cakewalk Pro Audio Tutorial, but don't know if it's covered in the Sonar 
documentation.

  I do use quantization. That being the case: would that solve this issue?

  Thanks.

    Omar,

    If you don't use quantization or other automations you'll need to play that 
entire piece without the sustain pedal. All the sustain pedals does is send 
MIDI messages to hold and then release that note, which can be any duration.

    Each note needs to be played as legato as you possibly can, to the length 
you want to capture. Hold that 8th note for exactly half as long as a quarter 
note, etc. The better you do this, the less post-processing you'll need to do.

      Okay, so I was reading the sonar tutorials on staff notation, and it's 
telling me that I need to play notes without sustain if I want to have accurate 
note durations for printing. My question is; if I were to print the music out 
through sibelious, would I still have that problem? I don't really feel like 
re-recording an entire song from scratch.

      Thanks.
