Applying Groove Templates

Groove templates can be of any length and can be applied to any number of bars. Typically, you will apply groove templates to selections of the same bar length and meter. However, groove templates can be applied to different meters—for example, a groove template in 6/8 can be applied to a selection in 4/4. Also, it is not necessary to start on the downbeat when making a selection to apply a groove template.

To apply Groove Quantize:

1 With the Grabber or Selector tool, select the MIDI notes, Elastic Audio events, or audio clips you want to Groove Quantize.

2 Choose Event > Event Operations > Quantize.

3 Select a groove template from the Grid Quantize pop-up menu.

4 Enable Timing, Duration, and Velocity, and adjust their sliders to the percentages you want.

5 If desired, enable Pre-Quantize.

6 Click the Apply button.
