Well I worked all that out years ago. " Quantisation " is really a misuse of the term. If you get into Digitization Principles and Quantization Noise you'll find that "Quantisation " is really an inappropriate use of the word when referring to recording " clean up " . Yes in this case it refers to realigning your beats/timing and killing any natural feel of the original recording. A feature I found years ago and very definitely decided never to use.
It's just a part of all the Digitized Signal Processing [DSP] that falls under my " homogenized " label. So many people use the FX /EQ's and what ever that come bundled with their " Pro- tools " or what ever DAW software they use that every body sounds the same right down to their mastering output.
You only have to listen to the Commercial junk on the airwaves to realize this. Everything sounds the same. Half a dozen different Female or Male singers are almost indistinguishable once they've been through the " Pro-tools suite " [ Or whatever DAW software used ] and just sound like MUZAK.
I might suggest that your exploring " catch up " and it may be new to you but it isn't to me. I learned my Recording on Analog equipment back in the 70's and 80's. When transitioning to digital I explored how to retain the " Magic of the Analog feel " while using a very pristine and clear recording process. My guess is you've never experienced 24 Track Analog Studio Recording because the quality of the sound in the Studio is almost indistinguishable from the early digital processing. I used to wonder how do you get this quality of sound at home. Digital recording and the CD medium did that.
