• Quantize by: Open this pop-up menu to choose the required quantization grid. The
same values available for MIDI data (including user quantization templates) are found
here.
• Maximum Range: Sets the maximum time (in milliseconds) that an audio peak can
deviate from a quantization point—in the chosen quantization grid template (in the
“Quantize by” pop-up menu).
• Small values are suitable for quantizing audio material with a similar groove.
• Large values allow you to use a quantization grid that deviates more from the original
groove of the audio material. This, however, increases the risk of misinterpretation.
Start by experimenting with smaller values for the Maximum Range parameter—as
small as possible, and as large as necessary.
