Well, i figured i'd want quantization because i'll be laying the drum tracks and other instruments for him, and i usually like to quantize my drums especially. Like you said, though, he is a decent player, so he shouldn't have a problem following the click fairly accurately.

Another thought and question: I assume that your client's a reasonable player, so he should be able to play along with the click. I'm not really sure why you're wanting to quantize his playing, unless you're looking for a more mechanical sound; that is, you want things to be tight to the beat? I quantize my drum patterns so they'll be real tight, but I generally don't do my keyboard tracks unless I'm looking for a very precise rhythmic situation - or that I want a mechanical sound to it. Hope this helps.

Yes, no? I'm looking to use midi to better quantize everything. Thoughts? Omar Binno Website: www.omarbinno.com AIM: LOD1116 Skype: obinno1
