Little known fact: Quantizing in Logic occurs in relation to the start of the region, not the absolute grid. Most of the time, regions begin and end on sub-divisions or beats, so it usually isn't a problem, but can be if for some reason your MIDI region has an odd start time in relation to the gird of the song. If you are quantizing within a MIDI editor, you can use the Q-tool or the Q-pop-up to quantize selection - but click and hold -- rather than quick-click -- to choose the desired grid. If you choose a grid from the Q-pop-up once, it will remember this and you can quick- click after that. You should check out the Extended Parameters window - you can quantize all note events within a region non-destructively this way with great precision. Because all quantizing is non-destructive (operates on a ghost copy), you can de-quantize any note or notes that are quantized with either method. OR, you can quantize selected notes with a different grid . . . .
