Dude, I don't know, I don't think I hear a timing issue on the 2nd chorus.
But since I was listening and TRYING to find something, I suppose I would say if anything, it's a tick or two early.
I think the beat might be doing something different for that second one and fucking with us. It doesn't pop like the 1st one or something strange. I really need to find out what it is, this track is going to be EPIC.
ETA: I'm not decided if I'm singing the whole track, or doing some rapping on it.
Yeah I did like it, it was pretty good.
And quantize is a timing feature that takes your tracks in the sequence and automatically moves them into their correct position within the measure.
Say you tapped out a drum pattern on an MPC...you'll never PERFECTLY have it timed to the metronome, regardless of how close it sounds to the ear.
So in the editing program, you would use the selector tool and highlight the sequence you tapped out, and then choose the quantize feature and it snaps all the tracks into place.
Works the same way with your vocal recording, except it relies on the downbeat. I don't usually use quantize for vocals myself, because I like the imperfection that a live recording brings to a track. There's a lot more artistry involved in recording vocals, and imperfections can actually be a positive for a track.
But for pasting out your choruses and all, what it would do is snap each pasted chorus into the same spot within the measure as the first one was. You actually don't really need quantize to do that, because when you set the cursor to the absolute beginning of the first pasted chorus, and then paste out the copies, it places them all into the correct spot within the measure FOR you.
But I never used Adobe. I always use Acid for my vocal sequencing.
