The Quantize command in the Event Operations window can be applied to MIDI notes, audio clips, and Elastic Audio events. For MIDI, quantization adjusts MIDI note locations and durations so that timing is improved, or so that a particular rhythmic “feel” is achieved. For audio clips, quantization adjusts the start times (or sync points) of audio clips. For Elastic Audio, quantization adjusts to the location of detected transient events and applies Elastic Audio processing accordingly.
The Quantize Event Operations window lets you apply Grid Quantize based on rhythmic values (such as a 16th note) or using Groove Quantize based on Groove Templates. Slightly different options are provided for Grid Quantize and Groove Quantize.
The Quantize Event Operation and Quantize to Grid commands can both be used to quantize clips. However, each command also has a specific additional use.
Use the Quantize to Grid command (Clip > Quantize to Grid) to adjust the start points (or sync points) for selected clips. The Quantize to Grid command can be applied to both MIDI and audio clips (see Quantizing Clips to Grid).
The Quantize Event Operation, on the other hand, can be applied to MIDI notes and Elastic Audio events individually in addition to audio clip start times (or sync points). Some notes or events may be moved back in time, others forward. For MIDI notes only, some may be shortened, some lengthened, and some more drastically affected than others.
