Applying Groove Templates
Groove templates can be of any length and can be
applied to any number of bars. Typically, you will
apply groove templates to selections of the same
bar length and meter. However, groove templates
can be applied to different meters—for example, a
groove template in 6/8 can be applied to a selection
in 4/4. Also, it is not necessary to start on the
downbeat when making a selection to apply a
groove template.
To apply Groove Quantize:
1 With the Grabber or Selector tool, select the
MIDI notes, Elastic Audio events, or audio clips
you want to Groove Quantize.
2 Choose Event > Event Operations > Quantize.
3 Select a groove template from the Grid Quan-
tize pop-up menu.
4 Enable Timing, Duration, and Velocity, and ad-
just their sliders to the percentages you want.
5 If desired, enable Pre-Quantize.
6 Click the Apply button.
