Quanitizing: Making the music right on the beat.

For jazz notes, you can't just select notes and then "quantize to 1/8 notes" in a recording program like GarageBand or Logic or Protools. You have two choices:
1. Play the song perfectly. Note to self: THAT ain't happening.
2. Quantize each & every Count 1 note one at a time, and then go into MIDI editor and slide all the other notes that aren't perfectly timed.
Note to self: Don't WANT that happening!

Here's a better Option 3:
3. Write and Record the music as 3/4 time.
When you quantize, you'll still have the swing - but the timing will be perfect
