Thanks Scott,

This isn't my normal style of music, so I'm having to wrap my mind around a lot of new concepts, which is a good thing. Yeah, I don't know what my stupidity is with quantizing, or what I am missing, but unless I am quantizing a simple 4/4 on the beat, it seems to destroy what I'm doing, putting notes in weird places and shit. For instance, on my conga track, it felt like when I recorded and played it back live, I was very close to the quarter notes, but when I quantized it to 1/8, it just put notes all over the place seemingly, and I had to go in and slide things around in the MIDI editor. I know it is supposed to kind of look for nearby notes to whatever time signature you have and lock them to the grid, at least I think that is how it works. But I've had to use the MIDI editor to go in and move notes manually to get what I want. The way I've been doing it is check my quantize settings by hitting applications key on the track, going to quantize etc. and making sure it is set to 1/8 or whatever. Then I either check the quantize button, or hit control shift q on the items.At this point, I don't screw with any of the other settings. I know many of my timings are off currently, and it would seem quantizing would be an easy solution, but it must be a silent propeller, cause I am missing the boat. The propeller line seems slightly clever, but I have been up for 36 straight hours, so apologies if I am rambling. Thanks again for the feedback man, Che -----Original Message-----

I reckon Juan's comments on RWP about the arrangement are spot on, so won't attempt to expound upon those, but there's something nerdier that might be worth considering. Have you experimented much with quantize yet? I should say going into this that I'm not one of these people who quantizes by default, and in many instances where I do use it, I'll either humanize to a small percentage afterward or manually reintroduce some imperfections, but I reckon most of these lines (particularly any instrument with harder attack) could benefit from a touch of tidying. You could perhaps try quanitizing then humanizing to something like 5% as a starting point to see if you prefer it. Both operations are undoable if it turns out I'm full of shit :) Keep it up man.
