overlapping audio parts in SX3...please help!
If you have a audio part in sx3 that is longer then a beat (lets say a kickdrum) and you want to place it on every beat they overlap. When they overlap they make a clicking sound which is bad. Obviously i could place them on alternating tracks to avoid this but there IS a way to leave them on the same track and make it so they do not click...........does anyone know how to do this? I have seen someone do this but i forgot how he did it..I can not find it anywhere in the manual ...any advice from SX users would greatly be appreciated. thanks!
first off all u should pick a kickdrum which isnt longer than the 1/4 of a bar..
i tend to cut the parts so they dont overlap.. and then clue them together..
sometimes i do that but some things i do not want to cut the tails off of...there is a way to do it ..just dont remeber how..
let them overlap then select them all and choose Audio->crossfade. Now each segment will crossfade into each other.
if the tail is just a smidge longer than a 1/4 note, you can timestretch the kick so that it's exactly a 1/4 note for whatever bpm your project is at. or tune the sample if you're using Battery/RMIV/Kontakt/Halion/etc.
you can also crossfade like Emporer said. an easier way to do it is to highlight the overlapping audio files and press the "X" key.
k now we are getting close.....i know it had something to do with crossfading them.....but when i do that with a normal crossfade each part the volume kind of fades out and then back...any tips so they just overlap perfectly?? close!....thanks guys!
set the sample on 2 tracks, later on, record those 2 tracks, and use the recorded track as 1.
the crossfade technique is the one im after......they were close but that doesnt fade right......maybe just a setting for crossfade?
Both crossfading and timestretching will destroy the kick sample. Use a sampler. I believe there is one inluded with Cubase, LM-7 or something? If you don't want to do that, use an envelope tool to shorten the tail.
Drop the tempo 1 or 2 bpm would do it too. :-P
i too want to know this.. i record all my audio ie) the basslines in 8 bar measures or whatever and everytime i loop them i get that clicking noise. using a sampler is out of the question for these longer audio tracks... anyone know?? maybe there is a setting to overlap the audio tracks so each loop doesnt just cut in and cut out and instead play through giving it that overlapping affect?? crossfading will just create like a "sidechaining" effect which is not cool cuz it looses the energy on continuous driving bass lines...
Help????
Ok, non smart ass comment:-
Open up the loop in your audio editor, trim it so it is at (Or better just short) of 8 bars. Then highlight the last 20ms or so and do a destructive fade to zero.
As for the kic click, you really should put it into a sampler, or trim the sample so it's less than a 1/4 beat and fade as above.
there is a way to do it perfectly i have seen my friend do it many times. He is a big producer of rock/pop music in a major studio...there IS a way.....i just dont remember how to do it. If i get a hold of him and find out i'll let you all know..
not sure about in cubase, but PT has a default very very tiny XFade between reions, so you wouldn't get this click, nor would you notce the fade..
good idea!! change the crossfade so its very very short.....just to eliminate the click......ill try it and let you know how it goes!! good idea!
