Daystar140 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Hey! First time poster, long time lurker. You guys have helped me out alot! Iv'e doodled about in logic for a year or 2, but i'm still a noob. Prior to COVID I recorded my drummer doing some sections for a song (5 Mics). We unexpectedly had to do it all in a few hours rather than a week... and so his takes were not perfect. I have used flex time to try and even out some of the main timing problems, but when quantised a lot of parts have serious artefacts (i have the drum group phase locked) . I've tried removing markers etc but certain parts were just far too fast to be rescued. Luckily the verse is the same beat repeated with a slight variation. I have several bars of the beat (and variation) which sound fine with a little quantising. QUESTION: What is the most efficient and effective way for me to go about cutting these quantised bars out and stitching them together for the verse? Each of these sections has already been quantised with Flex time so I am worried if cutting them out and stitching them together will cause other timing issues. Should i disable Flex time, cut out the good sections, join them together and then quantise instead? Or is there a better way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Do a bounce in place of the quantized drums for every track. That way you can cut them up again and you don't loose what you already did. And the original take is still intact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution triplets Posted May 4, 2021 Solution Share Posted May 4, 2021 Once you chose the section you like you can use the marquee tool to select the range of bars and copying it by holding down Option while dragging over with the mouse.

Thanks. When I bounce in place the regions, should I keep the Drum group active? (these are multitracked drums) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 If you want to copy sections of all tracks at once definitely use the group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
