When recording or even after your recording you can.

You go to the track in the main screen, hit T.C. (f1) change to the timing you want and then press do it (f4 or f5 not sure)

hit me back if there is any problems

I tried that. Does that realy work AFTER you've allready recorded the track, lets say under 1/16 at 52%?

Your telling me that If I went to track number 2 and changed it to 1/8 at 54% it would work, and be noticeable? I dono, I think I tried that, and I dont really hear a change unless I do the track over, newly recording at that new quantize.

YES... It does.. Just dont go back to that track and hit TC and move it down. This will cause the TC on that track to lower...

And move what down? Your saying you can only perform this feature once, and then after that it messes up?

Okay, Say you record track 1 at TC 1/16 Swing 55% and then you go to track 2 and record at TC 1/32 swing 65%. Dont go back to track one and change the TC to 1/8 and press do it.. This will cause track one to go to 1/8th and what ever its swing was on last instead of 1/16 swing 55%....

I use 50-75%. It all depends on that you are swinging. For instance, sometimes I'll have most of the drums on one setting, but I lay another track with one or two hits on something else. It all depends on what you are doing. It's possible that you could have samples that are chopped so that some wierd swing setting works.

I love 65%

By Jenre Thu May 12, 2005 11:57 am
i usually use 75% on my kicks and snares and between 50-55% on hi-hats. there's no way you can stick anything about that on eighth note hats without it sounding wrong. On the rest of my samples its usually between 60-75% swing
