Haha, good point. My bad. Should have clarified earlier.

Haha, thanks for the advice. Will do.

Thanks for the replies everyone! I probably should've been a bit more specific. I'm *not* having "tightness" issues. I'm not trying to boast or anything, but it's not my playing that's a problem. I'm just a major perfectionist, and I want this stuff to sound perfect. Here's an...

As for "answering" questions, I feel like this might actually be it! Haha So this is what "the pros" do? Sync transients by hand? I quad track a lot of stuff. That was one of my original points. Getting the four to align 100% is virtually impossible. If there's no shortcut, per se, then...

Oh c'mon, haha. First and foremost, maybe I should've been clearer. I'm not talking about "editing everything to pieces." I'm talking about giving things that "over-produced" almost "robotic" kind of sound. That's what I'm (and a lot producers) are going for with this stuff. But, yeah, who's...

Yup! I was trying to make this clear. Thordendal (along with Tosin, Misha, et al.) is an AMAZING player. But he's not a robot. :P And we all are accustomed to robot-sounding music, hahaha. (I like it that way, actually.)

So you just cut before and after the transient and align it by hand? That's what I've been doing too. It just takes so long, haha.

"Your better off playing as tight as you can, and then quantizing the drums to fit your groove, will sound more human." This is the approach I've been taking, with some manual cuts and slides here and there. Is this what most people do? Thanks again everyone!

Thanks for the responses. This is what I was thinking. Obviously, I don't want the quantization to be absolutely perfect--then one can tell (we see (hear) this all the time with programmed drums). The thing is, although these players are absolutely amazing, what ends up in the final...

I've been having some trouble with quantization, and couldn't find a question like this on any forum. Like most djent, I'm working on recording material that's incredibly complex rhythmically, and, when doing polymetrical stuff in 13/16, 15/16, 17/16, etc., recorded guitar and bass parts have...
