Gotta disagree... Music that is just on the grid can be too robotic. Even though note length can help, I think an element or real groove and feel while playing is more enjoyable to listen.Boy Wonder wrote: Sun Sep 04, 2022 7:53 am About 15/20 years ago, I thought "soft quantize", or whatever it's called in Cubase, was cool. Piano tracks weren't lined up perfectly and that was fine for a human feel. Now, though, everything's changed. Most, if not all, music I hear is rigidly tight. There's no need for soft quantize anymore.
And importantly, as with not over compressing the life out of something, gives a track more longevity and replay value.
