alexhedleymusic Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Hi, im editing some drums at the moment and found the best way is to just use the old slip editing technique as I can't get any decent results using any of the flex stuff. the way I'm currently doing it is a bit random and I was just going to see if there are any better ways/shortcuts. what I'm doing is enabling 'slicing' but not actually using slicing. I'm just enabling slicing so it shows me where the transient lines are... I'm then just using slip editing to put the transient lines where I want them.... so what I would really like to be able to do is to get shown the transient lines.... then cut the transient lines (preferably snare and kick) into a load of slices... then to be able to snap them to the grid.... is there a more logical and quick way to do this.... even just being able to make the slices would save a lot of time but if I can then quantise the slices and then add the fades that would be best... thanks in advance for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 It sounds like you're complicating your life by not using Flex, so I strongly recommend you reconsider that choice. The trick is to really master what you're doing with Flex, but if you're using Slicing mode, adjust the parameters as desired (Fill Gaps etc....), position the transient markers properly in the Audio File Editor in transient editing mode, and choose the correct Quantize parameters, it should offer you a much better workflow than cutting individual regions in the Tracks view. If you still want to use good old region cutting type editing then you can control-click the region (while you're in Flex view) and choose slice at transient markers, then quantize the region positions in the Event List.

David Nahmani Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 You're welcome. In the end use whatever works best for you and for the task. Slicing, then quantizing the position of all the regions at once in the Event List is the workflow I used to use a long time ago before Flex existed, and it stil works fine if you prefer that. Or you can choose a Snap mode to snap the regions to the grid when you move them if you prefer to choose which ones to snap and leave others in their original positions.
