Thank you for digging that out for me. Split’s post in the thread this pretty much explains things perfectly.
It’s not so much a “loops” question as it is a Beat Detection question.
The question is about embedding a tempo map into an audio file and then using that file, in musical mode, in other projects.
The clip need not be a perfect loop. The tempo mapping and the musical mode functionality are what I’m looking at. Anyway, how does this sound for a workflow on this?
Procedure:
- Make protection copy of original sound clip and set original file aside for safekeeping.
- Import “working copy” of clip into “empty” project and run Beat Detection.
- From “Advanced Audio” menu. Save tempo map to the file, not to the project.
- Place clip in musical mode in Media Pool, assign tempo (probably at or near what Beat Detection mapping revealed the tempo to be).
- Copy the clip, renamed as needed, to new folder to allow Media Bay access in other projects (will this work?)
- Repeat for other clips (if this method is correct).
Beat detection is amazing, I’m fine with the basics, getting good results. But, I want to get the workflow right and I don’t think I’m there just yet.
Thanks for the help on this.
