If I make swing in percentage in my host studio one, it dont fits with the other subdivions which are straight if I use swing on 1/8th or 1/4th subdivisions. But if I use swing templates in Ableton they are fitting with the straight notes! how do they do that? are they swinging all notes? but if yes, the same percentage of swing to all subdivisions causes a totally mess, so it cannot work! But there must be a way how it can work...

Someone have an idea, please?

It's not possible that swung notes would ever exactly fit with straight notes, because that means either all the notes are swung, or all the notes are straight. How exactly are you setting the groove templates in Live?

As example if I use 70 % swing with 1/8th notes within my host and use the other notes like 1/16th and 1/4th straight, it sounds awful...

But if I use 70% swing for 1/8th notes in Ableon and straight notes with 1/4th and 1/16th notes, it sounds always nice, but why? How is this possible??
