(custom) Region playback Head-start/end settings??
Hi all. First post but been reading this place for some times(years).
Could anyone please tell me if the following is possible?? My problem/standing. I'm slicing drum-loops. I've imported a drum loop. Used strip silence. Now I have 9 different regions sliced and I wish to bounce those regions with FX(specifically Slate VTM only). I've noticed that with Tape-emulation plugins and millisecond audio if simply select an audio region and bounce to disk the resulting audio file has a CLICK @beginning and end. Inorder to not have clicks I have to manually select the region with approx. 3-4milisecond before it's start and its end. (Time for tape to initialize) My question; Is there a way/some place in settings to specify the BEGINNING-END of selected audio regions? So when I select a region it automatically gives it a Head-start(150millisecond) before it's true beginning and 150millisecond After it's true end. Mucho Gracias!! Ps-is anyone NOT experiencing this "tape" behaviour?? Last edited by speak.sigma; 02-23-2018 at 03:00 AM. Reason: Extra info |

Have you considered Audiosuite processing instead of bouncing? Latency of the plugins might be the cause of your problem, and audiosuite'ing and exporting the clips might work.
Edit: I'm not aware of any solutions that directly answers your specific question.

My CPU peaks @25max ATM and memory stays around 14%, so i really doubt that it's a latency thing. My buffer is maxxed out(1024). Other third party plugins work fine/don't produce any artifacts. It's specifically Tape-emulation plugins. This is either my system solo. Or just the way tape plugins are designed (I'm leaning alot more on this second thought). Is no one experiencing CLICKS @beginning and end of short audio files less than 1 second long(130-400 millisecond)? Post bounce/export?? The PT project is 16bit 44.1. I've also tried 24bit session. With and without dither. No luck.

The type of plugin in use doesn't make a difference. What does is where on the waveform the selection is made. For click-free work you need to make sure the selection starts and ends at zero crossings.

Again; it only happens with tape emulation. Ps. I read that PT does not have zero-crossing setting.

Just tested with Softube Tape. No issues here.

There is no such thing as a zero crossing setting (as you've discovered) when splitting a waveform - you have to adjust that yourself. |
