Quantizing While Preserving the Original Feel

You can quantize less strictly, to preserve the original feel of your recorded MIDI and audio tracks.

To quantize while preserving the original feel:

1 Select the range of MIDI notes, Elastic Audio events, or audio clips to be quantized.

2 Choose Event > Event Operations > Quantize.

3 Under What to Quantize, select the Note On option for quantizing MIDI notes. To also quantize MIDI note durations, select the Note Off option. If you are quantizing audio, select Audio Clips or Elastic Audio Events from the pop-up menu.

4 From the Quantize Grid pop-up menu, select the note value you want to use.

5 Ensure that the other options for Tuplet, Offset Grid By, and Swing are not selected.

6 Select the Exclude Within option with a value of 10–15%.

7 Select the Strength option with a value of 70–80%.

8 Ensure that the remaining Quantize options are deselected.

9 Click Apply.

10 Audition the change. If the desired effect is not achieved, undo the edit and experiment with different values for Exclude Within and Strength.
