Now if you use 1\/16 quantize, everything is bang on these divisions. Then, if you analyze for instance a shuffling rhythm, the down beat, snare or clap and a hi-hat programmed in 4&#8217;s or 8&#8217;s will be straight still, but every event that occurs on beat 1.1.2.1, 1.1.4.1, 1.2.2.1, 1.2.4.1 etc will be delayed a certain amount. This is where you would use the 16A-16F quantization options: 16A resembles 1\/16 a lot, while with 16F it&#8217;s not really straight at all anymore. It&#8217;s beginning to sound like a walz or something. When it comes to dance music the trend is definitely swing, at least 16D (I&#8217;ve found out that US sequencers like Studio Vision and Digital Performer go between 16D and 16E (value 71 on the upbeats). It slows the track down a bit, but it makes it more funky and hip. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[34224,34223],"storecat":[],"itemids":[],"manufacturers":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Check out the In Logic, can you explain to me what exactly the &quot;swing quantize&quot; values do?
