Is there a way to make quantized and stretched audio actually sound good? I'm working on a project in Sonar Platinum and my timing is quite good on a particular track. I want to tighten it up more by stretching a couple of spots by 1% and then quantizing, but it comes out sounding messy. I've made adjustments in the AudioSnap Palette, but I can't seem to get a good sound. Can anybody help with this, please?

Have you rendered your results once you've finished? You need to in order to take advantage of the superior offline algorithms

Can you tell me how to do that or tell me if it's in the manual? I didn't see anything about it. Thanks.

just above this note:

Note: The online algorithm is for preview purposes only during playback. The final audio quality will be greatly improved after the offline algorithm is applied during mixdown/export.

 
This is one area where CbB has improved significantly over Platinum. CbB now includes zplane Elastique and there was considerable work done to AudioSnap during this development.

That helps. Thanks.
