Quick update…
Things are going well, and I’m very happy with BWS so far!
One interesting situation that happened yesterday, was that I wanted to make something with FX Grid to test latency.
In FL Studio I typically output a click from 2 different instruments to the left and right channels. Then in Edison (the wave editor in FL Studio) I could zoom in and measure the difference between their start points in ms, and that told me how well things were aligning when all the dust settles.
I dipped my toe into the grid, and it was COLD! Ok - that’s not fair, as it was actually fun, but I wasn’t able to create what I wanted.
What I wanted was a readout of the timing difference between a click on the left and right channel (in ms or samples). What I ended up doing because I couldn’t figure it out, was to subtract the signals, so that I could hear the difference (shorter/quieter was better).
A few more details on my failed attempt:
First I recorded a clip playing the same high hat sample with the DT and Omnisphere, as those where the 2 things I wanted to compare.
Then I made an FX Grid on the master track, and did a few things. I first split left and right to separate signals, used an envelop follower to convert the audio signal to something I could measure, then decided I needed to make a stopwatch/timer to get meaningful values, and after that I flailed I just could not figure out how to build a timer with start/stop and display the value in ms or samples.
If I could have made the timer successfully, then my next step was to route the difference between the 2 envelopes (one from left, and one from right), and that would give me the latency between them.
Anyway, if anyone can help, please do
Best regards,
Gino
