Thanks Bill...

This seems a handy tool... I'll bet you get to add it or something like it to Drum Replacer (or Sonar) itself in an upcoming update! ???

;-)

I'd like to. But as others have said, the MIDI drag/drop functionality is the designed solution for this. Plus: it's difficult to determine where functionality like this would live... Right in SONAR? Or do we create a MIDI output and an audio input for Drum Replacer, so it can play out MIDI notes and record in the results? Where does it tap in - post FX? How do you do the routing in general? Pretty hard to design a simple solution (I've tried). I wouldn't count on seeing a built-in solution any time soon. There are bigger Drum Replacer fish to fry. Like user-inserted hit markers, FLAC support, etc.


Hi Bill...

What about building into DR... The ability to read an audio stream input? Then simply using a little midi file to generate the hits and sending the selected synth output into the DR input would be an easy job?

But I understand priorities and such...

In the meantime, your solution appears to get the job done relatively easily though I haven't tried it yet! ;-)

Thanks again!

Hate to be "that guy", but I get failure to launch on Win7 Home Premium x64 with "System.IO.DirectoryNotFound".
 
Executable is only 16kB; is that right?
 
EDIT: I guess if all it does is read fixed size chunks of data out of a file, and write them to new ones, using libraries for the GUI, that could be right.

I don't know if this will help or was mentioned. AD2 can give you audio samples that you can drag into a timeline. I don't know how Drum replacer works but if it accepts audio clips, then your ready to go.
 
You will have to figure it out but on the bottom left of the AD2 UI, you can record the sounds. Those sounds can be put into the timeline. I remember seeing it done but can't remember anything further than that so I hope this helps.

I have no idea... Try re-downloading. I made a change that might help.
 
Yes. Very small.

Hmmm... still no go. Might try on another machine later. No biggie for the moment. I was more curious than anything. But it could come in handy if I can get it running.

I guess I'm "that other guy" in that case lol .... win7 pro x64
Under admin or not .. with sonar open or not.
And with a fresh download.
The cwt file opens up my bjackson dir perfectly though. lol

No worries man. I find it useful cos you can get tweak things inside AD2 to get the sample exactly like you want it for the particular song your working on, also you can use the link function in AD2 and blend 2 kicks or 2 snares together using the flexi channels.

Tried another tweak. Re-download and let me know. Please remember: this thing is expected to be total crap. Just sharing a little utility I made for myself. :)
