hello, how can you make a drum pattern to be perfectly synchrone with the tempo-click, i mean very tight, when i play a drum pattern manually, some beats are sometimes out of tempo, is there a feature that automatically 'quantisizes' a beat? :?:

This way of locking the notes according to pre specified resolution against the bars / measures is commonly referred to as "quantization".

Good word to know the meaning of as in this buisness you´ll sooner or later stumble upon it or people around you will use it.

i think in theory, quantization is dope.. but musically, quantised ride cymbals for example take away the spontaneous element to the music..

so yeah.. practise
