Quantize note timing in the Score Editor in GarageBand on Mac
You can quantise, or automatically correct, the timing of notes in the Score Editor. This technique is useful when regions in the track contain the right notes, but are not perfectly in time with the project. When you quantise the timing, items are adjusted to the selected note value.
You can select and quantise complete MIDI regions, or quantise only selected notes in a MIDI region, using the Time Quantise pop-up menu. Time quantisation works non-destructively, for playback only. The original timing is never lost and can be recalled by setting the value to off.
Time quantisation in the Score Editor works in the same way as time quantisation in the Piano Roll Editor. In the Score Editor, you can also visually quantise the display of notes (independent of their MIDI time quantisation) using the Grid pop-up menu.
Quantise the timing of MIDI notes in the Score Editor
In GarageBand on Mac, do one of the following:
In the Tracks area, select the MIDI regions you want to quantise.
In the Score Editor, select the individual notes you want to quantise.
From the Time Quantise pop-up menu, choose the note value you want to use to quantise the timing of the selected items.
Drag the Strength slider to the left to decrease the strength of quantisation.
The Strength slider is available when MIDI regions are selected, but not when individual notes are selected.
