Audio Snap 2 multi track drums quantize ( in phase)

AUDIO SNAP 2 MULTI TRACK QUANTIZE
DRUMS ( IN PHASE )
1. Bounce all tracks to be quantized to a guide track.
2. Enable Asnap on guide track only. ( Process / Audio snap palette )then click the power button
3. Pick “show transients” (on guide track) and set threshold.( so all major hits are picked up)
4. Right click (guide track) and choose “Audio snap” / “add transients to pool“.
5. Mute guide track ( leave asnap on ) but close the asnap window
6. Highlight all drum tracks ( except guide track )
7. Enable asnap pallet ( Process / Audio snap palette )then click the power button and choose “show transients”
8. Set “ threshold “ to 100% (so no transients are picked up )
9. Right click on any highlighted clip and choose “ split clips at asnap pool “
10. Turn off Audio snap palette on multi track drums and guide track.
11. Highlight all multi track drum clips. ( not guide track, you’re done with that)
12. Choose “Process, Quantize “ set the duration, ( I was working on a straight rock beat so I used 8th ) pick “audio clip start times” only. Click OK (Listen & check everything)
13. Bounce individual tracks to clips.

    This seems like it could be problematic, due to splitting a clip in the middle of a transient on a track where a hit was a little earlier than the corresponding hit in the guide track... just a thought for consideration.

    This is not a new method. This is the adapted version from V6 when asnap came out. It's tried and true, I've used it for years cutting drums and I cut alot of drums. Cutting drums for DAW owners who don't have the room, mic's, inputs etc. has become a decent part of the $ coming in. Yes there's a learning curve, the quantize factor, the fade times and what kind of tracks it won't work very well on. In my studio 90% is rock, country or some variation there of and most drum tracks I can fix slightly off tempo hits Very quickley and still keep things in phase. I understand clips are being split at points other then zero crossings but they are also being cross faded and in the end, with a little effort on your part you'll be amazed at how much you can improve a multi track drum performance and how easy it is to do. Or you could sit around and decide that it will be problematic.
