Props - indeed seems a cool guy.
Heh, from 80s music to humanizing.. whoa, we are approaching the 90s!
Beginning from this position.. not sure of you're specific goal with humanizing ..
Def. if you kicked off a new topic for it, with specifics about the kind of thing you're aiming to do.. it could be seen by people interested in that.
In the past people have posted their own tools/scripts and interesting things here. I do remember some pretty cool things (but couldn't find those threads in the forum search - maybe others might luck out).
Was cooking with Max in Ableton for a while with composing and adding/breaking things up in different ways with it.
Never have really gone to lengths with classical performances in terms of automating outcomes. Kind of an interesting thing to try tho. I'm kind of precious with that side of things - and as long as you're not chopping up the Mona Lisa to make fast food wrappers IDK - make sure you're avoiding opening worm cans - unless they're ear worms, those are unforgettable
Depending on what your focus is, part of the trouble I find (I have some 25min pieces) is that over long pieces at least, there's no metronome or old MIDI ways to really stick rails on a performance with some already baked in human factors, which can vary from the 1st to the last in 25min or so works. If the performance is lacking in some places..
.. applying some comping techniques, for like chopped sections... maybe you could apply subtle 2% values, print each iteration and keep going.. or just redo/undo small humanization routines on those sections.
But I get back to thinking.. maybe processing entire (esp. longer) classical pieces can often be best handled, zoomed in, working by hand. Just like I say, not sure what you're wanting to do - hoping some of that helps in your decision making - good luck there PlacboMessiah!
