QUANTIZE AND SWING TIPS....

ok basically i just wana know if there are any typical quantize/swing settings that people use on a regular basis. e.g kick -always 50% on 16
hat - always 55% on 16.......get wat im sayin?? i tend to play around wiv it an go wid wat sounds gud and feels right but im jus onterested to see wat other people are doin when it comes to quantize an swing.

Like you said it comes down to a feel thing.

But

sometimes... I might program 2-4 tracks of hats running on different timings (swing or manual step edit) to get a real loose feel.

you got the right idea,just play with your tempo too.start out slow and speed it up by increments.

jus kidding. I like 60% swing with shift timing at 3 .

SO you apply swing after you record the sequence along with shift timing?

Damn, I had no idea you could do both at once.

I thought swing affected a whole song, can you have diff swing settings per track?

Yea....And per instrument

shift timing,doesnt the swing already shift,and i though swing affected the whole beat and not just an instrument?

doesnt swing affect the whole beat ?

thats what i was just sayin, im sure i read in the manual that it effects EVERYTHING. but these experts disagree

so what exactly are they referring to with the shift timing
