Hi,
I've got a midi track, well, 2 actually that I'm trying to quantize, but I can't seem to get the desired effect. I select the track I want, I've tried both control P / semicolon and the track list, then hit opsion 0. All the quantize options come up. I see 1/16 note, which is what I want. The thing here that confuses me is I've forgotten which checkbox needs to be checked for it to work. Is it swing? I've tried allof them and the apply button is still dimmed, and hitting enter goes back to the mix window but doesn't make any change. Am I supposed to be making a selection rather than just the track I want? Or is it something else I've completely forgotten about.
Any help would be appreciated.
Rory

You gottit. You not only need to select the track, you also need to make
a selection, as far as I'm aware.

Hi Christopher,
Selecting seems to work. Is it possible to select all on a track though? Would make it a lot quicker lol. Or maybe I just need to nake bigger selections?
Thanks.
Rory

Sorry to be getting back with you so late. I've been in the studio all
night.


Absolutely.


Just select whatever tracks you want to work with, then hit Command+A.


Another way, though more tedious, would be to select the tracks you want
to work with in your track list table, then press return to go to the
beginning of your session, then option+shift+return to select to the end
of the session.


I really haven't done much with splitting clips/regions. So, there's a
possibility that if you have multiple regions in a session, this might
not work using the second method I outlined. I'm not entirely sure. The
first method definitely! will work though.


Chris.

Hey Christopher,
Thanks I'll definitely give those a try. Out of curiosity, why is the second method so tedious?

OK, tedious might not have been the best of words. It's not so much that
it's tedious, as much as it's one more extra keystroke that you could
have done with only one.


Again, what it really comes down to at the end of the day is different
folks, different strokes.


Chris.
