    Can somebody explain in majorly plain English what the different
    quantize options actually mean.

    For instance:

    Over Quantize
    Iterative Quantize
    Quantize Lengths
    Quantize Ends
    Freeze Quantize


    I've read the manual over and over again but they seem to assume that I
    already know what quantize actually means.

    Many thanks for any help

    A simple Google Search using the words Cubase and Quantize, turned up
    this little gem:

    Hi,
    To quantize a note is to change an algorythm in order to move a note
    position so that this position gets closer (or even matches exacly) a
    the nearest predefined value of a quantification grid.
    Example:
    -I play quarter notes on my keyboards. But I have no rythm and all my
    quarter notes are slightly late or early.
    I select a "1/4 note grid quantize" and quantize my poorly but humanly
    played notes: their position is now exacly on each beat, like a machine
    woiuld have played them.

    Once you understood what quantize was, you can progressively understand
    all the "quantize" versions. It's all a amatter of different quantize
    grid and quantize value. You'll cope. :)
