Im surprised that there is even an option to quantize an audio track. Is that really the case? I can understand a beat detect option so that time stretching has some reference points but quantizing an audio track is a new concept to me.



I do this in Reaper, where it is defined as such:
"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."
