Edit Clip Map Question - Audio Snap

Open up the Audio snap palette and then change the resolution to what you want 16ths 8ths etc, then lower the threshold if need be to have those transients detected

Brundlefly is the audiosnap expert but as I understand it the quantize resolution sets what the transients snap to. Set your quantize to the resolution you want. That's how I do it anyway.

I can get the beats to conform to the grid fine, it's the off beats I would like to have happen too. Hope the pic helps clarify my question

I am not quantizing the audio, rather trying to edit the clip map so that the existing audio lines up with the grid. This way my next phase of adding Midi tracks things should line up nicely. And it is working on the beats, it's the inbetween beats I cannot edit in the clip map edit mode

Yes, Set Project from Clip has a maximum resolution of quarter notes, regardless of time signature or the number of beats you set in the clip map. But it would be a little unusual to need a tempo map with a resolution of 8ths if the piece is basically a straight tempo with a little natural variation.

The unmapped 8ths should be close enough to the mark that a part quantized to 8ths against the quarter-note tempo map would not sound out of sync. If anything, it will help to preserve the natural feel of the timing if the 8ths have a little breathing room.

AH you're here now on your white charger.

Glad you got here too, I was starting to get out of my depth.

Audiosnap is something I've only recently started using end even now I only dabble in from time to time. I really need to get more into it when I get time.

Thank you for the clarification. I was able to double the initial tempo then leave it at 4 beats. But then there were two or three mysterious new transients added at the beginning which were causing the 1 in the clip map editor to be over where the 2 should be, I ended up having to move these new transients way to the begining and disable them before I could move and edit the 1 in the map to where, or close to where it, should be. From there all went well and succes has been achieved.

Now if I can figure a way to cut my entire new tempo map exactly in half?

Brundlefly, I expect you are right that 8th note resolultion is likely unneeded, and this does explain in my mind why the maximum beats is 14 (for odd meters or trips) Like you I find it fun to know how it all works and what it's limitations are. I did feel in this case with a few noticable timing lurches (not horrible, just noticable) that the finer resolution would serve be better.  Thank you
