Easiest way to sync audio to the beat in DP?

Post by curtisb »

Say I just imported some audio that is slightly out of time. I haven't been able to come across something that shows me yet. Anything like Recycle or the time warp in Live? Lately I have had to bring sample into Live and sync to beat then bounce and bring back into DP.
Thanks..
Curtis

I found the Beat Detection Engine. I will have to look into that some more.
I guess I should have read the manual more.. Sorry.
Thanks.

Step through the region and audio menus very slowly and carefully. You'll find a number of items that can be of help. On top of that, there is the ability to move barlines: Adjust Beats, under the Project menu, under Change Conductor Track. Learn how all these things work, and you can do just about anything in DP, as regards tempo, beats, matching soundbytes after import, and just getting everything to line up nicely without losing your original performance. Lots of tricks here. Lots!

Thanks I will look into that. I have the "Ultimate DP Learning Series" but I can't rewind it if I miss something. For some reason the DVD doesn't let me rewind or fast forward, so if you miss something or need to see something again, you need to watch the whole chapter again. So it takes forever..
