Melodyne • The Quantize Time macro for tighter performances


Bring the legendary sound of Harrison's analog heritage into your DAW with the 32Classic Channel Strip. This comprehensive plugin emulates the iconic Harrison 32Classic console, featuring a musical four-band parametric EQ, famous ultra-wide filters, and a versatile dynamics section with three compression modes. With the addition of a Jensen transformer-modeled "Drive" control for warm harmonic saturation, it provides the same professional workflow and sonic character used on some of the world's most influential records.

In this video, Rich demonstrates how to tighten up an entire multi-track recording with the ‘Quantize Time’ macro in Melodyne. He does so by carefully quantizing the performance of each band member to make them all ‘sit in the pocket’. Whether it’s drums, bass, guitars, synths, lead or harmony vocals – Melodyne can improve the groove and timing of them all!
