About
Audio quantization is aligning the beats in an audio-item to a grid or to a predefined groove.
In Reaper this is actually item-quantization, as you can apply it to midi or audio-items. Note however, regarding midi you'd normally use midi notes quantization.
In other DAWs audio quantization are named e.g. Elastic Audio, Audio Quantize, Beat Detective and Time Warp.
Native solution
Natively Reaper has rather poorly implemented audio quantization functionality. However when used in conjunction with the recommended tools below, you'll get a fully functional way of doing this.
Dynamic Split
View > Dynamic split items
How to use? See: Dynamic split
Quantize
You can quantize items with the action:
"Item: Quantize item positions to grid..."
Recommended tools
Fingers Groove Tool
See: Fingers Groove Tool
AW - Fill gaps between selected items
See: AW - Fill gaps
Recommended workflow
- Select the audio-clip you wan't to apply changes to
- Use Dynamic split to split the clip at the beats.
- Quantize, either..
- Use Quantize items to grid, or
- Use Fingers Groove Tool
- Use AW - Fill gaps to stretch and smooth out crossovers
