I'm chopping up vocals in soundforge, is there a way to synq them with for example 130bpm? Or isn't that possible with soundforge?

thx

not quite with soundforge... any DAW out there can do that though, some more easily than others. Ableton Live and Acid Pro, i found it the easiest to do although it's an easy process, in general.

DAW?

I'm working with Reason, I can import each sample with the NN-XT.. But that would take a while :)

It's a lot easier in a program such as soundforge if it's possible..


thx!

anyone else?

I'm not sure about Sound Forge, but the time stretch tools in Wavelab and Cubase will allow you to specify an original tempo and a target tempo and will do the rest of the work for you (they also have settings for rhythmic accuracy vs. pitch accuracy).

But you really are better off using something like ReCycle, or a proper sampler. Samplers can do a much better job, for example, Emulator X has about 20 different timestretching algorithms based on the frequency content of the source material. But most vocals can be timestretched very cleanly as long as the tempo difference is small (say < 5 BPM), so you don't need any fancy stuff. That only really comes in handy when you're stretching very tight drumloops or tempo-sync'ed pads or arps.

Oh, and DAW = Digital Audio Workstation, but it's commonly used to describe the sequencer environment (i.e. Fruity or Cubase). That's an acronym you should definitely commit to memory if you're doing any serious producing...
