10.4.7 Quantizing Notes
There are three options for quantizing MIDI notes in Live. First, you can quantize MIDI
notes as you record them. Secondly, as previously mentioned, you can move notes so that
they snap to the visible grid lines. Finally, you can select a note or notes and choose the
Quantize command from the Edit menu, or use the
Ctrl
U
(PC) /
U
(Mac) hotkey.
The rst time you do this, you will see a dialog box with several quantization options. This
will quantize using default settings, or the settings that you previously applied.
To adjust your quantization parameters, open the Quantization Settings dialog from the Edit
menu.
