Quantize

Quantize lets you "clean up" or "tighten" the timing of a previously recorded track.
For example, the following musical passage has been written with exact quarter-note
and eighth-note values.
Even though you think you may have recorded the passage accurately, your actual
performance may be slightly ahead of or behind the beat (or both!). Quantize allows
you to align all the notes in a track so that the timing is absolutely accurate to the
specified note value.
