Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Yeah thats a good additional point - is that some beats you flub and 
some you hit right on - so take a mental note of which ones you hit. 
What I like to do is to hit the notes in a pattern of four in a square 
so I can see which beat automatically rather than counting or thinking.

All midi has delays. Its designed to not be electrically coupled so 
there is an optical interface of some sort. Say that its 20 
milliseconds (1/500 of a second). Maybe my math is wrong here, but say 
you have a tempo of 120 bpm, then thats two beats per second. If logic 
is 960 ticks per quarter note, thats 1920 ticks that occur in that 
second. So each tick is 1/1920 or .52 millseconds each. So 20 ms / .52 
= 40 ticks. In other words, even if you play right on the beat, the 
midi delay (if we assume 20ms) is 40 ticks. This is why its a good idea 
to slide the matrix notes to the left 40 ticks - just to bring them to 
where they should have been. Then use the quantize to adjust the feel 
of the playing.
