Hello:Well, the truth is that when you come right down to it, if you want a really natural sounding feel, you shouldn't quantize it at all. Unfortunately, none of us (or I should say most of us), are not going to play a drum part tight enough especially when using a midi keyboard. If you have your drum parts separated, e.g. the kick on a track by itself, you might want to try just quantizing the kick, and maybe the hi hat, then leave the snare and toms unquantized so that you can have flams and drags if you want. Now, all this being said, this is where session drummer comes in. Many of the included patterns are recorded purposely with a loose unquantized feel to make them sound like a real drummer.Gord----- Original Message ----- From: "Luis Elorza" <luiselorza@xxxxxxxxx>To: <ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2007 3:24 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: quantizing drum patterns and beatsif you are using the right note resolution for quantizing and you still don't like the result you can edit the notes in the event view. just divide the ticks between the number of notes, if you want a 8th note divide in 2, for sixteenth to 4 and for eight triplets by 3 and so on----- Original Message ----- From: "Stacy Bleeks" <sbleeks@xxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, May 28, 2007 9:03 PM Subject: [ddots-l] quantizing drum patterns and beatsHola,Anyone have any good tips on quantizing beats after they are programmed using Sonar/soft synts?I've red over the tutorial stuff on it but still can't quite get the patterns to line up and swing quite right. Somehow even after tweaking the quantize peramiters, even simple little kick, snare ride combos have been coming out robotic. I mean I've got nothing against the robots but when they start to take over I need to turn to someone for help. (smile)Also, if anyone has been using the "groove quantize " feature, I'd be curious to know how it works.Thanks a million!
