Grid Quantization (in music production) allows you to change inprecise recordings to more precise recording that usually occur from someone playing an instrument (midi controller or guitar for example) while recording the notes through their DAW. There are two types of quantization to be aware of Put them on the grid lines and even go as far as change the note length and velocities – one by one using nothing but your little two-button mouse, but…ĭo as I do now and use your DAW’s quantization features. Well, you could, like I did for a large part of my early days as a ‘music producer’ go in and manually edit the placement of every single one of those notes.

Only then, to notice that beautiful melody or groove you just recorded shows up on your grid well out of time – you immediately play the rhythm or melody back it just sounds like a bunch of 5 year olds randomly smashing a load of instruments together?

Have you ever sat there with your midi controller, programmed in beat or melody and watched as all the notes appeared in your piano roll grid? Quantizing Music? Here I dig into a subject that save you a boat load of time in your music production…
