Often hours and hours on tracks no one will ever hear. Some people spend hours going note by note. An option is getting as close as possible with the above method, then slicing the audio up into little bits and aligning to grid. Depending on the degree of accuracy desired, this is where the real tedious work can come in. The longer the clip, the more noticeable it will be. No matter how good the talents sense of timing. If it starts at the project beginning for example, it ends at the grid mark for the beginning of measure 5, and so on.īut your audio will wander to and from the grid to some degree. ), change the project tempo until the clip is on the grid and four bars long. Think of it as simply adjusting the project's grid lines to match the recorded audio as needed.Įxample: If you have a clip of recorded audio edited to four bars (By ear, or the ear of the talent. If you have a known number of measures of audio recorded at a unknown tempo, you can keep narrowing in on it by changing the project's tempo until it matches up. Its iffy in ideal conditions.)ĭo YOU know precisely what the recorded audio tracks tempo is? Mixcraft doesnt. (Yeah, someone's going to mention beat matching. So other than trial and error experimenting until the tempo matches. The " project" has no way of "knowing" what the audio recordings tempo is. How do I accomplish this without it affecting the previously recorded audio? What I want to do is change the tempo and/or key of the project so that the snaps work correctly when editing, or so I can add MIDI events or whatever.Īll I want to do is change the project tempo and/or key, I do not wish the audio to time stretch or pitch shift or anything else. And/or a song that is recorded in one key in a project set to another key. What I'm left with is audio that is at one tempo and a project that is set to another tempo. This can also happen when playing to a drum machine that is not in sync with Mixcraft. However, the music does keep to a pretty solid tempo because the talent have a good sense of tempo. I do this is because I am recording improvisation. I create a project without knowing what the song's tempo or key is going to be, and not using the built-in metronome.
This is one that is probably simple, but it has bedeviled me off and on for quite some time depending on the circumstances of my recordings.
