i think the way to achieve good swing is not so much off setting all kicks snares but changing the velocity.
i usually chop up a drum beat
assign each part to a pad
then lay down the drums with time set to 1/16
then i go back on another track and turn time off
and 16 layer velocity on the hats or kicks or whatever
then i lay in the low hits
it creates a really swing style groove that is naturally off due to the way the sample was cut.
for example
if you sample a 2 bar drum loop and it loops at 84 bpm
and you sequence the beat at 84 bpm and chop your sample to that sequence you will find that very often the drums are allready off so there is no need to further the delay of the drums. they allready have the natural human feel, all i do is drop some hiphop flavor in the beat by doublin up or laying velocity.
this is probably confusing but i thought i would add my two cents.
peace

i'm trying to learn to make good drums with quantize off because i find it's more fun that way.. all my recent beat are made with quantize off
