strikingtwice Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Does Q range Work as plus or minus? In the manual it only talks about if you enter a negative value. My understanding is that if I get something close enough, I should be able to enter a very subtle value and it will pull it closer to the note but retain the groove. In DP you selected ticks and it worked as plus or minus. Example it would only quantized something played within 20 ticks of the line. Is this the same as logics? Here's the manual Excerpt. Advanced Quantization: Q-Range: Q-Range is a very musical quantization strategy that requires a certain amount of technical musical prowess. It is ideal for recordings that already have the right groove, but are too hurried or laid-back in places. It allows you to retain the original feel, but positions the rhythmic center precisely in the groove. A value of 0 means that every note is quantized. If you enter negative Q-Range values, only notes that fall outside the set range are moved to ideal quantization grid positions, while notes closer to an ideal position remain unquantized. This moves the most poorly played notes (those outside the range) to perfect timing positions on the quantization grid, or at least towards these positions, depending on the Q-Strength setting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCTMusic Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Hi A positive Q range will quantise those events inside the range, and leave those outside where they are. A negative Q Range will leave those events inside the range where they are, and those outside will be quantised. CCT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strikingtwice Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 Ok, that's what I thought. So, maybe I've been having a hard time thinking when you would use the positive? I mean the negative range is exactly what it should be. Example maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCTMusic Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Hi Depends on your situation/needs, but... Positive: Quantise events close to my Q grid (say 1/8 notes), but leave everything else alone (say a beats-worth of quaver triplets (1/12) Negative: My playing was generally OK, so only quantise events that are 'miles away', and leave those events that are close alone.
