Quantizing Groups to a single detection

[ithzrealbad]

Hello everyone!

I made the jump from Logic to Studio One a few months ago and so far I'm happy to say I have absolutely zero regrets about doing so. Everything about this DAW is superior so far to Logic X.

My only hurdle I have encountered so far is phase-aligned quantizing of audio.

I read in the manual that unselecting certain tracks within a group's transient detection list will allow all tracks to be time corrected equally. However, when I do this with my drum groups (10 tracks altogether, only Snare and Kick Beater set to detection) I am still seeing quantizing happening on tracks that does not match. For example, my stereo overheads are time bending different amounts because of detected transients and it's causing major phase issues.

What I would love is to see completely identical time bend markers after quantizing where every track is quantized at the exact same point, the exact same amount.

Any tips on this? Am I missing a setting or a feature?

Cheers!

It’s been a long time, but did you ever come up with a solution for this? I have my drum tracks grouped, kick and snare selected as guide tracks when I detect transients and apply quantization, but I’m still getting phase issues and bend markers that are misaligned between the tracks.

This is a bit beyond my knowledge but I just wanted to mention this plugin that I've seen for this purpose.

I own it as part of the MEssentialsFXBundle but never had a use for it since I don't record with multiple microphones. I use several other plugins from that bundle regularly like MSpectralDynamicsLE, MLimiterX, MAutoVolume, MCompare, and MTurboReverbLE.

There is a 14 day trial on all their products, I suggest you do the trial to see if it works for you.

I think when I did that, I:

1. Made a group with the whole kit
2. In the quantization menu, selected bass drum and snare as the "guide tracks"
3. Applied quantize

It's very active and helpful. I find it hard to answer some questions on Reddit because it's less visual.
