Edit region parameters
Region inspector
You can view and edit region parameters in the Region inspector, located in the upper part
of the inspector. When a single region is selected, the title bar of the Region inspector shows
the region name; when multiple regions are selected, the title bar shows the number of
selected regions.
The Region inspector shows parameters for the selected region or regions, including Quantize
and other parameters. Some parameters are available for only audio or MIDI regions, while others
are shared. There are additional advanced quantization parameters that you can view and edit by
clicking the More disclosure triangle.
You can also open the Region inspector in a separate floating window.
When Show Advanced Tools is selected in the Advanced preferences pane, additional
parameters appear in the lower part of the Region inspector. You can view and edit these
parameters by clicking the More disclosure triangle.

Shared region parameters
You can edit the following common parameters for both audio and MIDI regions:
•
Quantize: All note events contained in the MIDI region are time corrected to the (quantize)
grid format chosen in the pop-up menu. For information on choosing the Quantize parameter
value, see
Quantize parameter values .
•
Q-Swing: This percentage value alters the position of every second point in the current
quantization grid. Values over 50% delay the beats, and values under 50% pre-delay them. The
most practical settings fall between 50% and 75%, imparting a swing feel to strictly quantized
(or tightly played) audio or MIDI regions. For information about Q-Swing and other advanced
quantization parameters, see
Advanced quantization parameters .
•
Loop: The playback of all region types can be continuously repeated by selecting the Loop
checkbox, or by using the Loop tool. (See
Loop regions in the Tracks area on page 300.)
•
Delay: The playback of all region types can be delayed (positive values) or advanced (negative
values) by ticks, or by milliseconds. (For more information, see
Shift the playback position of
regions in the Tracks area on page 299.)
•
Advanced Quantization: Q-Strength: This percentage value determines how far a note is shifted
toward the nearest grid position. 100% results in full quantization; 0% leaves the note at its
recorded position.
