Is the bass supposed to mirror the drums?

As in if I quantise my drum track to 16b in logic, then do I quantise my bass to 16b?

Also I find that if I quantise my drums to 16b and then try a quantisation of say 16c/16d for the percussion, it sound messy and stilted!

Is every thing supposed to be on the same swing or not?

I move stuff in 7's (ticks). ie the snare hits over 2 bars in Logic (1st snare 233, 2nd snare 233, 3rd snare 8, 4th snare 233. Open hats over 1 bar, 1st op hat 8, 2nd op hat 228, 3rd op hat 233 4th op hat 233). You can't just quantise your beats dead on, it sound WACK!!! You have to have a "push - pull" thing going on. Otherwise it sounds rigid and rubbish.

depends on the type of music and the feel you want, yo. You can't say that there's a black and white rule here... I write breakbeats and funk as well as hard trance, and sometimes I swing and sometimes I don't! Depends on what I'm after.

I only have one thing to say.. 'Whatever sounds good'. Sometimes (I myself have done so as well) the science of it all henders the innocent creativeness the could be a feeling into a sound or the other way around. Imagine being in a room with during a jam session.. Not much science going on.. more just groovin'.

Ciao.

But "groove" is exactly the point of this thread.

So what you are saying is that by careful use of velocity and pumping compression, I can quantise all my beats and they will sound groovy? I don't believe it.
