Hello, i have a small issue but how dont know how to search for it in here so idk if it has already been talked about and I’m still kinda new to the octa.
Basically im trying to use a longer sample that includes various loops inside it then i want to slice it and use the loops i want already sliced in whatever pattern by using conditional triggers to trigger a certain slice. (please let me know if this is a in a fact a doable thing and if there are other solutions to save ram sample slots). Well the problem is this particular first loop and what is the beginning of the big sample starts with a silence, and i would like to keep that part of the silence for the loop be heard a certain time in the pattern. but when i go to slice the loop the octa doesn’t let me go the start of the sample, it always has to start by the time it has actual audio, is there anyway to deactivate this as to start slicing the loops i want from that sample including that first silence?
Welcome @angelo_rosa.
I don’t understand the question.
Could you rephrase it, elaborate, draw something ?
It sounds like the silence isn’t actually recorded to the track to me. Is it the first part of the file? If the sample had the silence baked into the .wav file it should allow you to put the slice mark in the silence area. Re-record and make sure the silence is actually there. If there’s no actual silence there you can’t move the slice marker to an area that’s not actually in the file.
Also, I don’t see this saving on RAM. The best thing to do to save RAM would be to load a file like this into a static track where it streams off the CF card. You definitely could go this route but what it’ll save is sample slots, not sample ram. So if you think you’re gonna fill up 128 sample slots (256 total between static and flex tracks) this would be a good method to use. It would also be cool to set up a grid slice and remix the loops together. But for actually saving RAM… one 6 minute file should use up the same amount as six 1 minute files.
Hi Sezare thanks for answering man! but probably not worth to explain all of that ahah
i think Oldman Chompski already got what my issue was, but i was very wrong and shoulda double checked because what i thought not to be possible is actually possible. im a dumbass
Hey Oldman Chompski thank you for answering, and you are right, it is definitely possible perhaps when i tried it earlier maybe i didn’t have the silence in the loop first that’s why i thought it didn’t start at the silence…
And yes definitely something to do on static tracks !! On the Ram wouldn’t be worth doing
thank you
Still don’t get it. Did you check AED TRIM settings, SRC START ?
ahaha. dont worry bout it, it is solved now, thaaaanks
