Non-realtime quantize?

Perhaps a dumb question, but anyway:

I often bind several clips to keys (kick, snare, hat), press record with metronome turned on and just press the keys in time to record the drums. But most of the time I'm hardly in time, and I'd need to quantize.
The realtime quantization is pretty useless in this case, because when I hit a key a bit too late, the clip is not only triggered a 10th second too late, but 1/8 or even 1/4, depending on how I set the quantization of the clip.

Is there any way of quantizing everything in the marked region in the arrangement view to the global quantization grid?

I'm using Live 3, by the way. I tried searching for "quantize", but I didn't search all threads that showed up.

Select the notes. Edit - Quantize.
Will snap to current devision in zoom level (ctrl 1 or 2 on PC)

i think he's got to get Live 4 first

i don't think you can easily do that with 3

That might be the first serious reason for me to get Live 4...

I'll consider it, although I don't really need MIDI support.

Is there no snap to grid when dragging clips in arrangement?
Well, I tested in 4 and it seems only the first clip in a selection will snap to the grid, the rest just follows without snapping.

Hm.

It's the same in Live 3.
