WEIRD kick drum timing issue
Hi all
This seems repeatable for me and is driving me nuts !.. take 2 tracks , and put 1 different kick on each (audio) , perfectly quantized to grid. Copy these kicks to beat 2, 3, 4 so you end up with 1 bar of 4 kicks on each track . Now play this ...all sounds good. Select the bar of kicks on both tracks and consolidate.. now kick 1 in the bar sounds different from 2, 3 and 4.???? Its as if the first region is being clipped by the consolidate, like its missing a bit of the attack (even if played from before the bar start,and kicks 2 3 and 4 sound somehow tighter together? Any ideas? this is driving me mad ...Ive read all about sample rounding, but I think this is non related. Just to confirm, Im in ticks mode, and trying this with only 1 BAR of kicks All I want to do is consolidate so I dont end up with hundreds of regions , but it seems beat 1 is ALWAYS different sounding... EDIT..ok it seems like this is a start latency issue.Whichever kicks I select as first (so for example if I just loop round 3+4) , 3 sounds weird (softened) , 4 doesnt. I have no idea where to start looking for why..its as if PT is always clipping the start of whatever is on bar 1 ..any thoughts? any ideas before I go mad ? Cheers Bill p PT HD3 7.4cs4 |

Re: WEIRD kick drum timing issue
hey man do you have auto fade activated in the prefs?
this may make the first transient sound a little weird - although it would of been a problem when they were all individual regions...... work a look..... was the first thing that came to mind also is there any reason you are in ticks? C. |

Hi Carl
well well yes I do have autoxfade on.. 10 msec. Tried turning it off and it all appears to be normal now! So it appears that during a consolidate, that makes a big diference to the result ! I had completely forgotten about this..its all flooding back to me now! many thanks Carl..you have saved me from a lunatic asylum cheers Bill P |
