In this video, I demonstrate the following: 1. How to quantize in the piano roll editor 2. How to use the "Q" shortcut to quantize 3. The 1/1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 and 1/12 quantization values 4. How to use quantization strength and swing settings 5. How to use input quantization Support the sponsor of this video, Boombox | bit.ly/boomboxsponsor For mixing/mastering work, contact me at my website | carneymediagroup.com Follow MusicTechHelpGuy on Instagram | instagram.com/musictechhelpguy Support the channel on Patreon | patreon.com/musictechhelpguy Timestamps: 0:00 Introduction 0:26 Sponsor Segment 1:04 Q Values: 1/1 + 1/2 4:04 Quantize Shortcut 4:45 Q Values: 1/4 + 1/8 7:11 Q Values: 1/16, 1/32 9:20 Q Values: 1/12 (Triplets) 12:48 Q Strength 14:28 Input Quantize 15:54 Swing Quantize

Josh, as a retired professor of 40 years I can say with some authority that you are a SUPERB teacher! So clear, organized, and engaging!

[@FredPilcher]

Your tutorials are the best on KZbin! Not only are you an expert, you have a real talent for teaching. Thanks so much.

[@pianisthemant]

Yes really.. 👍👍

[@ChristianSchebitz]

Absolutely - he is so clear, no "ahhs", a great teacher!

[@trevordolhan1060]

Quantization demystified. Thanks man. I just learned more from this video than I have from the past few years. Can't tell you how much I appreciate it!!

[@JohnLynagh]

Thank you Josh for refreshing these videos. I am a relatively experienced logic user and I am pick up lots of tips in this series.

[@FelixSR]

Progressing through this mega course I'M LEARNING SO MUCH! Thank you thank you thank you, you are are gem!

[@garygimmestad4272]

I’ve been using Logic for several years but I’m still learning from your coverage of fundamentals. For example, I didn’t know about clicking a key in piano roll to select all of the entries on that pitch (!). And now I understand how Q settings are sticky. These videos are re-clarifying fundamentals for me and I’m picking up some overlooked gems. Many thanks!

[@ormen6588]

Started using Logic again after a 7 year hiatus. Loving your work. Thanks for all the help. Very appriciated ❤

[@Valsi876]

These are such wonderful tutorials. So many different things you can do, if you know where to look, and understand what things do.

[@joeguitar75]

These videos are so helpful when adding Logic to your DAW portfolio. I used reraper for the last 12 years and still love it. But sometimes a new workflow and a new toy gets you a new creativity push

[@ajadrew]

I'm saving all these videos - thank you for time you've taken to get this all together.

[@Samueljohnhorne1984]

So helpful! I just bought Logic Pro. Couldn’t for the life of me work out how to get the quantise to work. Everything sounding much better now! Thank you 🙏 😅

[@tylerama36]

My God, you are a gift to the world. Thank you for this course!

[@SuperLAMBARD]

Best teacher for Logicpro ! Michel

[@thewhitbyfox]

Another excellent video. I'm hooked on this series. Josh is an outstanding educator, perfectly paced progression of knowledge and skills. Thanks again from Yorkshire, England.

[@Manjuvioline]

I have spent a lot of money on learning these topics. These videos are of great help. Thank you so much

[@guzzoofoz]

Thanks Josh. I’ve used quantize for Years (hit and miss) and didn’t really know how it works. Cheers

[@vewilli]

Very, very helpful for me as I mainly work with MIDI. I think this lesson can speed up my workflow a lot. And now I’m looking forward to #10 which is already there! 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@thierrymeuris8042]

Hello, I also like to thank you for the great tutorials. I was also wondering if there was some kind of 'quantize note ends function' in Logic Pro? I sometimes use this but I just started off in logic and do not seem to find this...?

[@kevinkeiper2275]

good question! did you ever find answer?

[@LA610]

perfect video for me...still trying to learn Logic pro....small steps...thanks

[@cmlcovers2693]

This was extremely helpful! I now understand why some of my midi tracks are getting messed up. Great video! You have a new subscriber

[@marcofelt]

Dude you are a fricken legend, you explained this VERY WELL

[@ZE_Real_Spacepadrille]

Bravo ! from France. This serie is amazing, many thanks to do that.👍👍

[@SYPCWAK]

Thanks for the refresher! I'm very much enjoying this series.

[@ChristianSchebitz]

Super explained and shown with great examples!

[@joseluis-wd3zd]

Brilliant. thank yoiu very much, cant stop watching your videos.

[@goranturborn5895]

Is there a way to automatically have the grid lines change with the quantize value? I.e. if you change the quantize value to 1/12 the grid auto-adjusts to three lines per beat? (Thanks for great tutorials!!!)

[@davidbenasulin]

As always, a very useful video and explanation. Thank you.

[@MagniMotors]

Thanks man! Just starting to get into logic and these are super informative. Do you have any recommendations for learning the theory side of things?

[@MusicTechHelpGuy]

Music Theory? I have an old course on my channel called "Music Theory for Producers". I'll probably updated it one day. The production is a little dated, but the information is all relevant. If you're looking for something that's a little more digestible, I did two courses over at MacProVideo.com called "Music Theory for DAW Musicians" and "Advanced Music Theory for DAW Musicians". They approach theory in a way that is easy for DAW musicians and producers to understand, rather than a traditional music theory course. Thanks for the support!

[@LuisTorres-qz5kr]

Another great tutorial, thank you!

[@minorrhoads5318]

Very helpful and clear and cheerful , thanks and subbed .

[@fruskyfrisky]

Muy buen trabajo! Muchas gracias.

[@70nikroxx]

Thanks for the Boombox , all signed up! nice and organized

[@toinevanderwielen9508]

Great videos. Thank you very much. Learning a lot.

[@morganst.pierre]

Is there a way to quickly align the rhythms of 2 midi tracks? Match one to the other like a groove track with more options

[@morganst.pierre]

More like what ez keys does actually seems like such a simple intuitive feature that they don’t have!

[@cornetak589]

is it possible to quantize a selected part separately from the rest of the track?

[@michaelbutler2312]

another great video! thanks,

[@robrees4152]

Excellent videos. Thank you!

[@jamesperriandtheinfiniteso99]

Brilliant Tutorial !!!!

[@MyBichSustained]

Did you get the Halloween,AC/DC shirt too?

[@LisaWaterhouse-t8q]

I'll keep on saying it, you're a great teacher

[@CharlesGreggo]

So every time you record on that analog drive track it just keeps layering on top of itself instead of only recording new audio? Ohhhh!

[@whatsupchicken]

Thanks, but how to quantize the note end?

[@bulletmagnet5044]

How do I get analog drive because I haven’t got it

[@Hyperwind]

What key are these melodies in? A minor?

[@nolesdennhardt8986]

your the man

[@karelhoogendoorn]

Thnx!

[@pokerqAK47]

This is the first lesson that I got a problem with :( and I can't find a solution. If I try to quantize to 1/8 triplets it doesn't sound the way you're demonstrating. It sounds somewhat like swing. If I quantize to 1/16 then it sounds the way it sounds in your video but you're quantizing to 1/8 triplets (1/12). Idk why it happens and I can't seem to find a solution. Before that I'd copy what you do and everything would sound the same.

[@hangovergin]

Thanks

[@learnwithsalim1228]

HAPPY THANKSGIVING JOSH

[@R1Originals]

Thank you

[@davidespinosa1910]

Apparently quantization only changes when the notes start, not when they end. So those whole-note pads are ending at completely unquantized times -- not even 16th notes. Right ?

[@MusicTechHelpGuy]

Yes, Logic only quantizes the note start. Note-end quantization is a feature that Logic should have had added a LOOONG time ago. Not sure what the hang up on that is, because a bunch of other DAWs already support that.

[@docmaddog]

Thanks!

[@leefoster4171]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@davidespinosa1910]

It looks like 100% swing doesn't get all the way to eighth note triplets. But the 10.7.8 update fixes it, so we don't care.

[@LockStoppageSandwich]

Fantastic 👍 well done

[@Samueljohnhorne1984]
