How to Quantize MIDI [Video]

Last week I posted an intro to MIDI video. I’ve gotten a lot of questions about how to quantize MIDI, so here’s my response:
How much latency do you get out from your rig? Because what I learned, that I'm playing ahead of the metronome, because of the latency. I believe this is what happened in this video aswell. In this case I'm not quantizing notes I've played, but with free edition (called 'Slip' in ProTools) I move the recording a bit to the “right” so all notes are getting in the right position. And than I try to quantize the small mistakes.
Very-very good blog! Keep on, I've learned so many things
Thanks! I don't get any noticeable latency with my 003. If you're using a
USB interface like the Mbox2, then you will probably get SOME latency, but
that's what the mix knob is for. Check out this video where I explain it

I really don't have any “proper” sound cards, however I'm considering to buy a cheap USB device, like an EMU 0202. Currently I'm using the on-board soundcard came with my notebook, together with ASIO4ALL, and this way I get 2-4 ms latency (even if many VST instruments loaded). I saw many reviews about USB sound cards, and they often say, you might get quite high latency (15-20 ms) if more (5-7) VSTi is in use at a time. What do you think, can I get lower latency from a FireWire device?
Any decent USB interface will have a ZERO-latency feature (like the mix knob
on the Mbox2Mini). Firewire IS faster than USB 1.0, but a lot of times it
will be more expensive, too.

Joe, the great thing about this tutorial is showing that quantization isn't perfect!
Mess with it… get 75% there… than use your mouse and make it 100%
So true! I'm hesitant to depend on anything do completely do the job
for me.
Said it before to Joe, I'll say it again: best video on this topic from a ton I had sampled in the past. I liked seeing the “random” option in action, I tried quantization without it and I had Mr Roboto on some of my lame keys playing. Now I can be lame in perfect time and still sound human!
Thanks Joe. I know it's going to be great before I even look at it. Going to look at it now
Fintan.
Hey Joe…great tip on using the Randomization slider. Works like a charm!
That was my “random” tip of the day. HA! (Sorry for that)
