Quantizing drums in pro tools 9

These parameters are:. Now that we have explained the most important parameters of this function, we can progress into configuring the Quantize window for our needs as:. The picture above shows the MIDI passage perfectly quantized. Find out the exact smpte time that the first click of the song happens. Start the NEW project at that exact time. Set the tempo to the tempo of the click. Transfer your tracks. It should be right on. If it is a little off, figure out how much and add or subtract that from the time the project starts.

First, we will quantize using beat detective, which is a bit more complex than elastic time.

You will need to closely watch the timeline marker and beat markers on the transients while beat detecting. Now we have to create the beat markers so beat detective knows where audio should be on the grid. In the first section of beat detective, check to make sure that the start and end beat matches the area of the region you selected. At the end of the window you will see two drop down menus. If beat detective makes extra markers in the waveform these can be deleted. You can edit the beat markers by using the hand tool.

Double clicking will create a new beat marker, and Option Alt on a PC clicking a beat marker will delete it. Also, by clicking and dragging you can move a beat marker, if you feel it is in the wrong place. Getting the markers right is the most time consuming part of beat detective.

Critical listening is required in order to make sure markers are in the right locations. It is sometimes helpful to play the track back at half speed to hear and to see when the timeline hits a spot in the waveform.

Half speed playback can be accomplished by holding shift and pressing the spacebar. The next section on the left of the beat detective window called Groove Template Extraction is mainly for extracting a groove from an audio track and applying it to midi data.

This will spilt the region into many parts based on where the beat markers exist. Now go to the next section called Region Conform. If they move too far you may want to go back and check your beat markers. We have to make sure that there are no region gaps unwanted silent spaces , clicks, or pops in the audio. To prevent these things from happening, go to the last section called Edit Smoothing.

In this section there are only two options, Fill Gaps or Fill and Crossfade. Fill and Crossfade yields the best results for clean audio so select that and leave the Crossfade Length at the default 5ms. Remember that if any part sounds off, just hit undo a few times to get back to before the regions were separated. Then you will be able to edit the beat markers again.
