Well are we talking about editing guitars or quantizing guitars? To me they're not the same thing.
You wanna do what?? Quantize guitars? thats so gay. Play good and edit by ear if you need to.
Yes, it's very gay to want guitars that don't suck.
Everyone that thinks that way doesn't realize they have probably heard edited guitars (any instrument for that matter), didn't realize it, and liked it, a zillion times. That mentality is horse shit.
Well... did i say editing guitars is gay??? No... I said quantizing guitar is gay because it is.
colton said:Hey Mike, isn't quantize short for quantization, which does have meaning can be looked at as another form of editing?
<3 semantics.
Merriam-Webster said:quan·tize[kwon-tahyz]
verb (used with object), quan·tized, quan·tiz·ing.
1.
Mathematics, Physics . to restrict (a variable quantity) to discrete values rather than to a continuous set of values.
2.
Physics . to change the description of (a physical system) from classical to quantum-mechanical, usually resulting in discrete values for observable quantities, as energy or angular momentum.
Since "quantize" has no meaning, literally, when it comes to music or audio engineering, I have always thought of quantizing, when used as engineer jargon, and editing as generally one and the same.
What does "quantize" mean to you?
Well because of how the OP described his "problem" i thought he meant by quantizing= edit on grid, like drums for instance. But you are right that quantizing could mean just standard editing. But i interpreted OP like super gay 100% machine guitar haha.
Moral of the story: only edit when it's needed. If you're editng whole sections of guitar, SOMEONE IS GAY.
If you are editing and you need to fix a note or two here or there: ok, it's still metal
If you are "quantizing" each note individually, then you are effectively creating electronic music, no longer metal.
