In my last article on MIDI, I filled you in on what MIDI is, isn’t and how it can benefit you. In this followup article, I’d like to show you a feature found in most every DAW, but especially Garageband, that can make your MIDI life much, much better.

Use the track controls in GarageBand for iPad. Each Touch Instrument has a set of track controls that lets you adjust its volume level, pan (stereo) position, and effect levels. You can also solo the instrument to hear it by itself, quantize or transpose the recordings on the instrument’s track, and change the master effects. Aug 11, 2015  You can quantize all MIDI Regions in your Project at once: Select all the Regions (Key Command command+A in the Main Window) Open the Piano Roll Editor (Key Command E) In the Inspector on the left select a Quantize value in the Time Quantize popup menu. All the Regions are now quantized to that value; doxaenergy wrote. Jun 24, 2011  Break down Garageband's tools and functions by focusing on small sections at a time. This video shows an overview of 'Auto Quantize Audio' check out these related Mahalo pages. Unfortunately, Garageband doesn't support MIDI export. However, you could consider buying Apple's Logic Pro X, which is the 'pro version' of GarageBand.It is quite pricey and might be overkill if you are just dealing with simple MIDI projects but it offers a great deal of features. Quantize the timing of notes in the Score Editor. You can quantize, or automatically correct, the timing of notes in the Score Editor.This technique is useful when regions in the track contain the right notes, but are not perfectly in time with the project.

This particular feature, as the title above gives away, is known as Quantization. And, if you’re getting in to music production on a computer.. You really need to know about it.

Quantize Midi Garageband

As I mentioned in the last article, when Garageband, or any other DAW records you playing a MIDI instrument, it’s not recording you in the classical sense. It’s only recording your key-presses, not the sound coming from the MIDI instrument itself. I also mentioned that this is incredibly cool, because you’re able to go back and edit the timing, placement, key, etc of particular notes you’ve played.

This can get extremely tedious though. Think about it: A couple of measures worth of notes can add up to somewhere between 16-32 notes, and that’s if you’re a really basic player. Do you really want to go back and have to correct every little note you’ve played? Well, some do. Those tend to be either the types that want complete control in every aspect of production, or players that are just soooo good, that they have very few edits.

The rest of us just want to get our song done quick, and sounding good, right?

Enter quantization! To quantize means to actually have the computer move particular notes over to the nearest note value based on the criteria you’ve assigned. Or, in real people speak- It tightens your playing up!

Let’s explore quantization together here in Garageband. I have this piano part that isn’t necessarily bad.. It’s just a little choppy. Let’s see how quantization can quickly fix this!

Step 1 - Double Click Your Recorded Region

When you record MIDI in Garageband, the recorded part appears as a small colorful region with little dots in the middle of it. The dots, of course, represent notes you’ve played.

When you double-click on a recorded region, you open up the Piano roll editor at the bottom of the Garageband interface.

Step 2 - Enable Quantize Note Timing in Piano Roll

If you look closely at the notes that I’ve played, you’ll notice that they are inside a grid.

The grid lines indicate proper timing, as the computer sees it. The notes, themselves, are sometimes within the grid lines, sometimes not. This is MY timing. When you play back the recorded part with my timing, it can sound good sometimes.. and very bad sometimes. If I use my mouse to move over notes that are not lined up in the grid, this will fix MY timing. Though, as I mentioned earlier, having to move every note to it’s proper place in time can be an exercise in patience.

Here’s where it gets fun.. Turn on 'Quantize Note Timing' over in the left hand corner of the piano roll. Notice how all of my notes are exactly on the grid lines now.. Cool, eh? Let’s hear it too!

I’ve set my timing to 1/8th note, because I’m actually playing in 8th notes. I know this.. But, if you’re not sure about your timing, just choose some settings and see what works. The most common settings are 8th and 16th. These are good starting places, but I always recommend experimenting. Quantization can even give you new ideas!

Conclusion

Using Midi With Garageband

Now, you may notice that it sounds a little too tight, in some cases. This is where quantization can take a little of the humanity out of your music. In the next tutorial, I’m going to talk to you about humanising computer recorded MIDI. See you there!

In digitalmusic processing technology, quantization is the studio-software process of transforming performed musical notes, which may have some imprecision due to expressive performance, to an underlying musical representation that eliminates the imprecision. The process results in notes being set on beats and on exact fractions of beats.^[1]

The purpose of quantization in music processing is to provide a more beat-accurate timing of sounds.^[2] Quantization is frequently applied to a record of MIDI notes created by the use of a musical keyboard or drum machine. Additionally, the phrase 'pitch quantization' can refer to pitch correction used in audio production, such as using Auto-Tune.

Description[edit]

A frequent application of quantization in this context lies within MIDI application software or hardware. MIDI sequencers typically include quantization in their manifest of edit commands. In this case, the dimensions of this timing grid are set beforehand. When one instructs the music application to quantize a certain group of MIDI notes in a song, the program moves each note to the closest point on the timing grid. Quantization in MIDI is usually applied to Note On messages and sometimes Note Off messages; some digital audio workstations shift the entire note by moving both messages together. Sometimes quantization is applied in terms of a percentage, to partially align the notes to a certain beat. Using a percentage of quantization allows for the subtle preservation of some natural human timing nuances.

The most difficult problem in quantization is determining which rhythmic fluctuations are imprecise or expressive (and should be removed by the quantization process) and which should be represented in the output score. For instance, a simple children's song should probably have very coarse quantization, resulting in few different notes in output. On the other hand, quantizing a performance of a piano piece by Arnold Schoenberg, for instance, should result in many smaller notes, tuplets, etc.

In recent years audio quantization has come into play, with the plug-in Beat Detective on all versions of Pro Tools being used regularly on modern-day records to tighten the playing of drums, guitar, bass, etc.^[3]
