Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Andy,

Gregory pretty much clarified what I was trying to say.

Start the recorder, with some kind of time reference (click, drums, etc) a few bars early and clap along before the vocal part enters.    Make note of which counts were particularly "nailed" along with the metronome and line up those transients to the grid in Logic after the recording.  

Interesting that some people nudge MIDI regions back to the left.   I don't do that, I just quantize by percent (60-90%).
