Tokøta from Mastering.com walks through programming drums with MIDI in Logic Pro, starting with a trick worth knowing: you don't need a controller to play parts in. Musical typing (Cmd+K) turns your laptop keyboard into a playable pad mapped to your drum kit sounds.
Once a performance is recorded, quantization snaps hits to the nearest grid subdivision, useful for cleaning up timing that's close but not tight.
Dialing back the quantize strength (try 75-85%) pulls hits toward the grid without fully erasing the human feel of a live take. How far you push it depends on the source material and genre.
Swing shifts alternating notes later in time, at 100% it creates a noticeably loose, swung groove, while dialing it back toward 50% returns to a straighter feel.
