Painfully unquantized track
Painfully unquantized track Posted on: 03.06.2010 by Verona Fashbaugh I've been wanting to remix this song that is primarily piano only. Only problem is, as far as I can tell, it was played without a metronome (I suppose this left the player plenty of room to add emotion to the song).At first I thought maybe it was just in a different time signature, which often times trips me up, so I looked up the sheet music online. Nope. It's in 4/4, for the tempo it says "78bpm Freely." Which to me means "try to play this at around 78bpm, but don't worry too much about it." So uhh... what do I do? I thought about tediously chopping it up into smaller parts and then stretching the samples to fit, but I would probably be at the age to retire before I was able to get it done. Any ideas? Or should I just throw in the towel and move on to something else? | |

Harold Jaras 09.06.2010 | fredddy beat me to it, if you've got Logic 9 for any reason, you can use Flex Time to do it in there as well. sounds just as good as warping in ableton |
Pamala Avilas 03.06.2010 | I'd do it in ableton. Imo it has the best soundengine for stretching audio. |

Breana Singerman 03.06.2010 | Are you planning on using the whole performance or just a bar or two from it? How bad does it drift? Nothing wrong with having a bit of that human element to give it some swing and groove |
