Quantizing in Garageband

Kinda like a newbie with GB...

I was wondering if its possible to quantize an entire song or project as GB calls it. I have tried the automatic quantize option but there still are certain loose beats here and there. Can anyone help please???


Secondly, how i determine what goes on in a particular section of the song?? Like i want something else to play say 3mins into the song, you know, kinda like a hook or something like that?? Cos so far its pretty much copy paste thing.😕

MacBook, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

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

This is a very generic question and I'm not sure you understand the basic concepts of Regions along a Timeline.

  • If you want to play/record something at 3 min, put the Playhead there and record something or copy new Regions to that place.
  • If you have other Regions at that place , select them and move them to the right (later) along those Tracks.


Hope that helps
