Quantize You can quantize notes either:on input or after they are recorded and selected. Quantization shifts individual notes within a selected region to the nearest beat boundary (eighth notes, sixteenth notes, etc.) that you specify. You can specify a quantize value that places notes exactly on the beat or, if you prefer, closer to the beat by a specified percentage. Many people use quantization to tighten up loose playing; after recording you can go back to a track and specify where in relation to the beat boundaries you want your notes to fall. Metro’s Groove Quantize feature allows for the quantization of a track to the timing of a predetermined groove. To quantize data: In the Graphic Editor or Tracks Overview, select the data you want to quantize. From the Options menu, choose Quantize. The Quantize dialog box appears. Choose the options you want (see list below). Click OK.
