Timing correction does just that, corrects your timing :shock: ... if your layin drums and you drop a snare, kick, hat etc off time it corrects it basically... want a more technical explanation? peep the manual G

Sometimes they call it Quantizing.
4/4, 8/8, 16/16, 32/32, 64/64, live.

You mean 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64

They are fractions.... divisions of a bar. :D

Everything you typed means 1 full bar.... so 16/16 = 1.... sixteen sixteenth notes in a 4 bar measure.

But it really quantizes to 1/16. This means it won't quantize to 1/32 or 1/64 notes, but too 1/8s and 1/4s along with 1/16s
