Is there a way to de-quantize?

[cacti]

to get something a more natural rhythm as if it was played and no sequenced.

Yup. Read up on grooves from the manual.

I'd recommend recording without quantization. You'll get better results that way. If your skills are lacking try recording at lower BPM than what you'll eventually be using and speed it up after recording.

And if you really want to be hardcore about it, disable quantization and drag each individual hit inside the clip into whereever the hit sounds best and gives the groove you're after (you will usually want to zoom in quite a lot for most accuracy). This is my preferred method..

yea, use grooves OR just drop your quantization to a lower %

I found this while searching for the same thing.

Everyone answering seems to fail to understand your question. Once you quantize, you can't get the toothpaste back in the bottle.

So what's to be done if you want to get a but more humanization back into your hi-hats?

Well, what I did is create a few things.

Added a 52% swing groove
Upped the randomization on the groove as well
and then added an LFO to time and velocity in Operator (it was a hi-hat in operator)


I kind wish there was just a right click > humanize feature like logic. Anyone know of one?

This.


Even if you have bad timing, you can always quantize with a percentage to get a tighter yet groovier feel than just straight quantize.
