SONAR has two different quantize commands:
These commands have quite a few settings, making them very flexible and
powerful. In addition, both of these commands lets you create, save, and re-use
presets. This means that once you find the settings you like, you can save them
and then apply them to other projects in a consistent way.
Resolution
The resolution indicates the spacing of the grid. You can use any value from a
whole note down to a thirty-second note triplet. You can also specify resolution in
clock ticks. A rule of thumb is to select a resolution that matches the smallest note
in the region you are quantizing. If you are quantizing a run of sixteenth notes, use
a sixteenth note as the resolution. If you are quantizing a mix of sixteenth and
eighth notes, you should still use a sixteenth note. At the default timebase of 480
PPQ, 480 clock ticks is equal to quarter-note resolution.
When you use Groove Quantize, SONAR creates a grid at the desired resolution
on top of the notes in the groove. For example, if the groove contains only quarter
notes but you choose sixteenth-note resolution, SONAR builds the grid by dividing
the space between each quarter note into four equal sections. In places where the
groove file contains no notes, SONAR builds a fixed grid of the desired resolution.
Command... How it works...
Process-Quantize Adjusts the start time and duration of selected notes so
that they line up with a fixed size grid
Process-Groove
Quantize
Lays a grid over an existing piece of music (the groove
pattern), and then adjusts the start time, duration, and
velocity of selected notes so that they line up with the
grid
