Does 'Tick Resolution' have any function besides interacting with midi?

jmh,

Someone else will have to chime-in here, but these settings have nothing at all to do with MIDI and would therefore, pertain to audio-related data.

Sorry to differ with you on this one, but the very first time I was introduced to the notion of tick resolution it was in reference to MIDI - here's a Cakewalk page that mentions it, in fact.

I don't have any in depth knowledge of MIDI and rarely use it, but I'm sure you would grasp its use in this respect much more than I.
Beyond that, I don't know what "these settings" you refer to pertain to. So sorry if I've missed the elephant in the room of the op's question.
