Recording the master track (on loop setting) capturing all nuances of live changes and instantly shift between the newly recorded material and performance done on top of it (like the crossfader transition trick). So much fun to get beat juggle type beats for creating new rhythms and fills.
So I have it set up so that when the fader is to the left it plays the original sequence and plating back just the recording when to the right. I think I understand why people are rearming the recording by hand tho as I am running into wierd errors and audio glitches, but only after quite some resampling. Sounds like massive bass or something eating up headroom, but not sure. Anyone else experience this? Any workarounds for recording a loop and get it to stay intact?
Hi. I have something like that after 20 or 25 resamplings, getting worse and worse. Maybe internal audio clock shifting ? Must be a reason.
It doesn’t happen with Pickups.
To make a test, take a sample, record it on a track with Cue, then resample that track with Cue. After 25 records its getting earthquaky.
Yeah, not sure what is happening. Have not been spending much time to actually sample before. It’s ridiculous fun, but this is somewhat taming my enthusiasm about it
Are you applying any effects every time you resample? In that case I wouldn’t be surprised if the quality suffers after some iterations. It’s just the nature of digital processing, or any kind of processing really. Just that with analog processing it gives your sound some “warmth” and grit that some might find pleasing. Digital over processing just turns everything into white noise.
If there’s no effects then the problem might be that your headroom gets eaten up gradually with each iteration, especially if you add more and more layers. In that case watch your gain staging.
I just tried with effects set to None, it is much better ! But usually you want to resample effects ! Have to try with only one effect.
To make the test :
1 bar Pattern
Flex > Recording 1, load a sample in it, Vol = 12, one trig, Cue ON,
Recording 1 Setup 1 > SRC3 = Cue, RLEN = 16, one rec trig.
Maybe Vol = 12 is a very little bit too loud, the sound increasing very slightly after 40 records, but with Cue Level = 107 instead of 108 the sound is decreasing slowly.
This happens without any effects added and it sounds like the headroom gets eaten up, but I am not sure this is the case since it happens with relatively low volume as well.
Will experiment with that, thanks for the idea. Got filter and delay set up, but this happens with open filters, no resonance and mix knob set to zero for the delay, but might not be “true bypass” will set efx to none on T8 and my resampling track as well.
