Quantize
Quantize is a music production function that automatically adjusts the timing of MIDI or audio notes to align them precisely with a rhythmic grid (beats, 16th notes, triplets, etc.). It’s commonly used to correct timing imperfections or to tighten up a performance for a more mechanical feel. Many DAWs also offer percentage-based quantization, allowing some degree of natural groove to remain.
