try it some more. i didn't use it for a long time and just manually programmed in my hits at different tick notation. now i use it all the time. it's essential for good sounding beats that aren't like that song "cant' do it like me."

To each his own. It's become a regular part of my programming. It just keeps things more interesting to me than having everything at 50%.

Too much can be a bad thing. Sometimes having somethinglike a closed pedal hihat coming in every once in a while a 75% can be dope.

Usually, I don't over do it though. Little bit here, little bit there can really loosen you pattern's up in my opinion.

I swear by swing. I especially love swinging 60% late with the amount changed to 9 on my highhats. shifts em back and makes them sound sick

Old school term which was upgraded to skeezer but commonly known now as I think chickenheads.

also known as hoodrats.

chickenheads maybe out more for the loot but not as money focused as gold diggers.

hoodrats are out more for the thugs and material things..

But all share the common goal of what they can brag on later..

Swing should be used wisely.

I barely even use quantize. I just punch buttons and undo sequence until I get to just how I want it. It is more tedious that way but when I rock a live show I know I'll be on point.
