In this example, Melody | Humanize Melody was selected. This opens the Quantize to
New Tempo or Feel dialog box.
We have broken down the Humanize effect into 5 main categories:
1. Tempo
2. Lateness
3. 8th note spacing
4. Legato
5. Feel
The best way to learn how these parameters combine is to try them. You can always
press [Undo] button if you don't like the results. For example, try changing the tempo of
a song to see the changes that this will make to the 8th note spacing and lateness.
Tip: Usually, when a musician plays at faster tempos, he/she plays the swing 8th notes
closer together, and a little later.
These categories are very straightforward and you should have no trouble achieving the
desired results. Remember to apply such parameters as Legato and Lateness sparingly.
Insert Beats/Delete Beats in Melody.
For example, to insert 2 bars in the melody at bar 5, Choose Melody | Insert Beats In
Melody, and select bar 5, and select 8 beats (2 bars) to insert.
Additional Copy function for Chords/Melody
This allows you to Copy Chords and/or Melody for a range of bars.
Press the [Copy] button to launch the dialog box or select the
Copy From.. To option from the Edit menu or press option+c.
