I just purchased the digi002 mixer and pro tools LE 6.9.My band went into the studio and the engineer was using a quantizer to line up the drums.I have a quantizer on pro tools but cant figure out how to get it to work with the drum tracks...If anybody would take the time to thouroghly run me through the steps on how to do it or any advice for that matter I would greatly appreciate it.

use the GRID mode and Group the drums together
remember to save to new session name so you can go back if you stuff things up

if it is real drums then first beat detective needs to be run over it to cut it up into units ... say 1/4 notes.
the the quantizer/groove template is run over it to align and then the smoothing is supposed to clean the cut and crossfade points.
in reality it can take much more effort than that and often it is done over quite short lenghts of the song ... verses, chorus, bridge, fills ... link pasages etc.
Read the instructions on Beat Detective and experiment ... and practice practice practice.
It's not that easy to do this sort of thing well and most often it is very time consuming.
