Robert Höglund Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Im editing a bass in a project using flex. The project changes tempo, a few bpm, during the chorus and a few bpm in the end of the song. The problem is that it works fine til the tempo change accurs, then it get totally messed up, no sync whatsoever. I've ran out of ideas what the problem might be. Any suggestions? Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong? It works like a DREAM on projects that have a static tempo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you using any specific track as a quantize template? The interaction of using Flex and syncing up all the track can drive you up a wall at times. I actually got better results with beat mapping on one song. The tempo was slightly adjusted without flexing (expanding/compressing tracks) and everything came out natural sounding.

Robert Höglund Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 No, not that I know of. Im not trying to sync the tracks to a tempomap. Everything is recorded with the tempo changes in the first place. What im trying to do is to align the bas notes with the bass drum where the bass is way of.

Robert Höglund Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 Heres an example how it sounds: http://www.dustyboots.net/example.mp3 Listen to the bass at the end of the clip. Awful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicoSatis Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Hi Just an idea but have you tried cutting the bass into a different region where the tempo change occurs? That way the region will be the exact length of the new tempo. I'm not near my Logic to check it out but it may be worth trying if you haven't done that already. HAve a good one.

shivermetimbers Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Yip. I tried that and it works much better if you slice the section and then quantize it. I did a tempo change and played some rhythm on the guitar. At measure 7. I played steady 1/8 notes. Measure 8 was the tempo change until measure 12. Flexing the entire track really messed it up. Selecting,slicing, then quantizing that section worked out well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicoSatis Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Cool. Thanks for checking that out shiv. I thought it might help. I remember having to do something like this for audio to score and tempo changes. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
