I'm having a little trouble understanding what double time is good for if you quantize. I get the idea behind it, give yourself double the resolution, and maybe I'm missing something here but I don't see how this works out.
If you use 1/32 quantize on a normal bpm, say at the beginning of the sequence, you have 8 spots from 1.01.00 to 1.02, and the quantize is dividing the beat by 120 ticks each spot. If you go double time with 1/16, as i hear a lot of people recommend, you have the same exact thing, as far as I can tell...8 spots where the note can be placed, and 120 ticks on each spot since its 240 but with double the number of beats. If someone can show me how I'm wrong I'd appreciate it because if thats the case, I don't get how double timing does anything if you quantize, it doesn't seem to be increasing the resolution, at least to me.
