RE: Utilizing Quantize
obvisously you didn't understand what quantize is. you cannot rely a subgenre to a determined quantize or shuffle setup.
i think subgenres in electronic music are often seperated cause of their instinctive use of samples and the spees.
example: d+b and electro. it is the same asynchronous beat structure. the accent is on the snare. (electro drums are often very (have got a very short attack time).
make your electro beat fast and use long snares -> d+b.
quantize: yup. generally everybody who composes with a sequencer has got "quantized" music, cauze you are going step by step. quantize as a function is just an algorithm you can add that modifies your step-patterns. there are definitely no typical d+b shuffle effects or whatever.
i use quantize as an additional feature of my sequencer to get easily new structures and inspirations.
it is also very important if you record in real-time. timing problems will be fixed.
