Applying Groove Templates

Groove templates can be of any length and can
be applied to any number of bars. Typically, you
will apply groove templates to selections of the
same bar length and meter. However, groove
templates can be applied to different meters—
for example, a groove template in 6/8 can be ap-
plied to a selection in 4/4. Also, it is not neces-
sary to start on the downbeat when making a se-
lection to apply a groove template.

To apply Groove Quantize:

1

With the Grabber or Selector tool, select the

MIDI notes, Elastic Audio events, or audio re-
gions you want to Groove Quantize.

2

Choose Event > Event Operations > Quantize.

3

Select a groove template from the Grid Quan-

tize pop-up menu.

4

Enable Timing, Duration, and Velocity, and ad-

just their sliders to the percentages you want.

If desired, enable Pre-Quantize.
