AudioSnap: Is This Possible?

  Hi All,

What I'd like to do is:
- record an acoustic guitar track,
- add an EZDrummer track, and
- sync the EZDrummer track to the acoustic guitar track.

Is that possible?

And, is AudioSnap the tool to use?

    Yes and yes.

    Record the guitar track. Use audiosnap to extract a tempo map as in this video.

    Add ezdrummer and you're good to go.

      Thanks, FastBikerBoy.

    I read elsewhere on this forum about someone having trouble getting an EZDrummer track to sync up with... Sorry, I don't remember what, but some other kind of track or maybe the whole project. Was that a different kind of situation from what I'm presenting here?

    Possibly, the tempo map is what any MIDI will follow. Any sync issues may well be a different matter.

    Okay, thanks again, FastBikerBoy. I'll try it and see what happens.

    Okay, I turned AudioSnap on for the acoustic guitar track and clicked Edit Clip Map. There's a slight delay at the beginning of the track before the guitar part actually starts.

    Problem: I tried moving the 1:1 marker up to where the first beat of the guitar part is, but it won't stay there.

    I don't know if this has anything to do with why the marker won't move, but AudioSnap put a transient in the 'silence' before the guitar part and this is where the 1:1 marker wants to stay. Each time I move it, it pops back there. I can't delete the transient because it's not user-created.

    Anyone have any idea how to get around this so I can move the 1:1 marker to the first beat of the guitar part?

    Not sure what is going on there then unless you've already got a beat marker locked to that beat. That would show red at the top of the clip map editor. Double clicking an already locked beat will release it .

    You should be able to filter out the erroneous transients using the threshold settings or disable those you don't want by right clicking on them and selecting that option from the context menu. Having said that you should be able to drag beat marker 1:1 to where ever you want regardless of how many other transients there are.

    Does the transient you are trying to drag it too turn yellow as you get to it?

     Yeah, it does turn yellow.

    I did come up with a solution, although I don't know if it was the proper way to do it. I just split the clip after that errant transient, then deleted that first segment. I bounced the clip and then I was able to line everything up.

    Thanks ever so much for your help. I watched your video on editing clip maps "the easy way" a few times to get the whole process down. Now that the experiment has worked, I feel much more confident.
