I wasn't being sarcastic, I was saying if you don't use swing, you don't probably don't quantize, and you've been doping this for 4 years. Usually someone starts out quantizing their music but eventually move away from that. That's all I was saying.

Is there a swing feature when u go to the T.C Page???? im sure it says
1/8 (50%) 1/16(50%) 1/32 (50%) and so on right? Isnt that 50% a Swing measurement?
Im sure u can choose to take the swing feature OFF on that same page..
Correct me if im wrong..

think of it like this:
100%= 8th note= 16th +16th
100% =50% + 50%=swing off
100% =68% + 32%=some nice swing feel on that second 16th note!
