Quantization For Analog Guitar Track... in Pro Tools?

Post by NigelEHarris » Mon Mar 14, 2022 4:54 am

Hi, most Taxi screeners with their 'bionic ears' point out to me that my rhythm guitar tracks, although synched with the click at the start of the track, go off synch several times during the track.

How can I compensate for this in Pro Tools, aside from manually moving all the 'out of synch' guitar strokes in the editor?

I quantize midi digital tracks all the time but have never tried with an analog track.

Playing rhythm guitar and always be 'bang on' with the click seems like a tall order...

Any of you have experience with this?

Please share - thanks in advance

Hey Nigel
You posted this in 3 places. You may want to delete the others and keep the one here.

I'm way above my pay-grade here on production (I'm a total non-producer) but I know Cubase has a "Time Warp" feature that may do this. Don't know if other DAWs have similar offerings or if there are plug ins that do this.

I'm curious what the answers here are.

Good luck!
:D Casey

Thanks Casey,

I posted in 3 places because I figured there would be more chances my question would be seen by Taxi members. Is that a problem?

Thanks for the follow-up... I will look at your suggestions

Cheers

Nigel

When everything is on one thread, all the answers are together for EVERYONE to learn from in one place. And posting the same thing in many places is generally considered "spamming" the boards and most of us find it annoying.
