Real Time Quantization

[costas.themis]

Hey my band and I are recording ourselves for the first time due to lack of funds to go to a real studio. We just tracked 4 of 5 of our songs on the drums, & I was wondering if there is a program that helps with quantization of real time drums to get every thing perfect with the click. I remember being at the 30 30 club studio upstate in New York and our engineer had this program that made real drum quantization real easy & efficient. I was also wondering how other people and engineers go about this process. We have never tracked drums before & are very new to this. So any help would be grateful! Hope to hear some good responses! Thanks!

Midi drums, yes. Real drums, no. You can set input quantize somewhere in PT(can't remember where right now), but I would just do it after the fact anyway. With real drums, create a group of all the drum tracks and try Elastic Audio(using a group will cause the changes to happen to all drum tracks, maintaining the phase relationships). Or try Beat Detective(which I have yet to master, but there are videos on yourtube to help guide you). Midi is easy. Highlight a section and go to Events>Quantize, and pick your settings.
