Groove Quantise Riddims ... call for wisdom :)

you can quantize all of the different grooves.. I guess but I'm not too sure that it will work with rex files when it comes to randomization. I think... Ill check it out later and let you know.

actually even though I am in my underwear and just woke up.. this makes me so curious that I am going to check it out now. lol

did I mention that I am as hairy as an alpaca???? hahaha

oh and no you cannot quantize rex files in Logic. you could quantize all of your midi tracks to whatever but then all of your audio would pretty much have to be done manually. booooooooooo. anyone with any light to shed on the situation?

was thinking about this,

to add to this, i find bongo/perc loops the best to 'quantise' to, almost always 'groovy'/off the grid, and loads of hits to choose from.
now if you start chopping you loop and using the chopped groove...

also, read Macc's Q&A on DOA for a bit on MIDI grooves, before it goes off on a mad one about phase shift in EQ !

what a waste of picking maccs brain.

I tend to start with the step sequencer in fruity to roughly get something down. I then send it to the piano roll & quantize or edit the hits manually to get the groove how I want

true talk...sometimes it works if you quantize your parts, then go in and edit individual notes or smaller groups of notes by hand...with midi latency and possibly lack of rythm it can be hard to record a part by hand (unquantized) and actually make it sound good
