Hey. I've been working with FL for a while now and the one thing I haven't really bothered with is quantizing.. I gave it a shot or two and then just thought 'Fuck it'. Can someone explain what quantization actually is? |

It basically move notes into time.... Can make things seema bit lifeless if used too much tho, so you may wanna Q to just 10% at a time to keep going til it sounds ok, or use Groove Quantatize which keep things funky (i.e, not strictly on beat)... Hope that makes sense... |

can be handy for drum programming for MIDI purposes though, but indeed it makes melodies seem a bit robotic at times. |

Agreed....altho in my experience, as long as your Bass Drum is tight, evertihing else can benefit from at least a tiny bit of slack... Especially the Snare on 2 & 4., make em a late and it reelaxes things & vice-versa..... Feel/Groove is such a weird Science...Used to love cutting up breaks etc.... |

yeah, but with hi-hats on each eighth note, for instance, I like to have them perfectly in time. *sighs and remembers the time when I made a lot of MIDI tunes* |

Another way of using quantization is to have the bassline tight- you can get away with slightly looser drums then. Makes an interesting change form the tight drums, loose bass norm. |

so is quantization basically a way for a non-human machine to simulate the effect of human "feel" on musical timing? |
