| _Griphin_ User Info... | Anyone use this program on a regular basis?!? I'm interested in doing a Zoviet France-type project using guitar and samples and all those fun things, and I was wondering how easy it is to insert WAV samples at certain points in a recording. The end result won't be burned to CD (cause I doubt anyone would buy it anyways), but rather avaliable thru New Music Canada. - Fri, 7 May 2004 10:45am | ||
| V-DUB User Info... | I've been using Protools for a couple of years. It's super easy to drop wav/aiff/etc/ files in a different points. Just import and arrange. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll see if I can assist ya. - Fri, 7 May 2004 1:38pm | ||
| lonemonk User Info... | Hey there _Griphin_ If most or all of the recorded material is small segments(loop-able or not), you might do better with a program geared toward that kind of manipulation. Sonic Foundry 'Acid' does exactly what you are talking about. It also allows independant pitch/tempo changes to incorporate a sample which either isn't the same pitch or the same length as the other tracks in the composition. Number of available tracks is limited only by hardware. I've seen low-speed Pentium II machines handle up to 32 tracks easily, depending on the density of the arrangements of course. Acid also allows full tracks of recorded material along with smaller snipits. I also had awesome results from a program called Fruity Loops. FL allows all manner of sequenced samples, along with a built in synthesizer, effects and probably the best and easiest to use drum programming available. (Much like an old 16-step sequencer layout, although in FL there is no need to use standard time signatures or be limited by 16 steps. I have also made cut/loop songs in a standard 2-track software editor, but due to the time it consumes I don't recommend it. Even the free Cooledit 2000, or Audacity will allow the accurate placement of sound elements, but the process is entirely manual and few features exist to ensure the proper alignment and timings. Pro Tools is a fine product and would no doubt allow for what you're after, but Pro Tools is also built to be a multi-track recording suite which is more suited to conventional studio use. Its also relatively expensive. Finally, just in case anyone is taking a survey. For me there is no better 2-track sound editor than Sound Forge (also by Sonic Foundry, now owned by Sony I'm told which is a little disappointing) It does cost a few hundred $US, but it has become a program I use every single day. - Fri, 7 May 2004 7:37pm | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | Sound Forge is a good program, but I've always used WaveLab when I was copying analog/recording a live signal. It's simple to figure out, and does tons. (I also use Steinberg Clean, but I really need to figure out how the thing works, my Demonation project in a word, sucked, I totally saturated the analog signal). - Sat, 8 May 2004 2:09am | ||
| ML7Mike User Info... | Altho Protools software for win98 is free, I do believe to get the version for XP you need to buy one of their interface's which can get very costly.. - Sat, 8 May 2004 6:50am | ||
