Here’s a more advanced version of the beat variation workflow that this whole Follow Actions series started off with. Here’s we’ll get a little fancy with MIDI routing, both to make a point and also to get some nice easy to manage results. After you’ve programmed your beats and set up the Follow Actions, duplicate […]

LOOPING WITHOUT WARPING. SORTA.
Every now and then, it comes up that you want to loop a sound without warping it. For example, you might need to loop a bunch of field recordings for an ambient performance or installation. What you want is for all of the recordings play back at their original speed regardless of their length, or […]
LOOPING WITHOUT WARPING. SORTA. pt 2.
Another sorta solution to this problem involves using a Follow Action. To do this, you’ll bring in the audio the same way you did in the last tip. After you turn on the Warp switch, zoom in on the right edge of the waveform display. In this case, we see that at 120bpm (the arbitrary […]

Not only that, depending on the process you’re doing, the editing workflow you use can have a big impact on the results you get. Becasuse of that I decided to ask […]
