Re: First try at audio quantizing - not great
FMiguelez: Are you completely sure about that statement? Nope! Why does sound cancel out then (when making proper settings)? Sorry, I was unclear. I was bouncing through a digital console and was probably getting some delay from the conversions. About two ticks. Should have just done an offline bou...

Re: First try at audio quantizing - not great
Ok, there is a fairly usable way to do this. Here's the drill. Bounce a Kick/Snare comp to use as a beat guide. Bouncing is NOT sample accurate, so shift it a few ticks left to get it in sync with the original. Select all drum tracks. Then select [Audio/Create Sound Bites from Beats]... then select ...

Re: First try at audio quantizing - not great
Theo: So you are saying it worked on one song and not another? The Copy Beats tool never worked for me. It would place random transient markers all through the song that had nothing to do with the source or target track. It was very frustrating. Maybe it was just earlier versions of DP and now they...

Re: First try at audio quantizing - not great
Time stretching, beat detection, slices and audio quantizing appear to be the way things are going. I think it behooves MOTU to improve it's beat detection and PureDSP functionality. They may have been the innovators back in the day, but that doesn't mean they don't have to keep up. PT's time stretc...

Re: First try at audio quantizing - not great
Not exactly useless. I tried a different tack. Made a Kick/Snare comp track and beat detected that. Copied beats to all drum tracks. Made soundbites from beats. Quantized. This got me 90% there. Had to clean up a few edits, and had to manually tweak some tom hits and such that weren't on the kick/sn...

Re: First try at audio quantizing - not great
By how much did you try to stretch? I find that drums are by far the hardest source material for time stretching, worse than full mixes. Transients, cymbals and drum room sound are very unforgiving when it comes to artifacts, and in drums those three are pretty much all you got, with nothing else l...

Re: First try at audio quantizing - not great
Not much better results with smoothing audio edits. Looks like I'll have to hire Vinnie Colaiuta after all.

Re: First try at audio quantizing - not great
I actually started my session by reading MagicDave's post.
Since the time compress method didn't work, the next step is to try the slice and fill method and see if that offers any utility.

Glowing recommendations + great customer support = $250 less in Theodore's bank account.
So far, I'm happy with the quality of these plugs.

First try at audio quantizing - not great
I wanted to take some drum tracks and quantize them to the grid using MOTU's Beat Detection Engine and PureDSP. I recorded 8 tracks of drums straight into DP, played to a click. Then I made a kick/snare guide track to use as a beat template. Copied the beats from the template track onto the other tr...
