If I were actually using a clip like this, I would likely chop and lay the slices into a very long loop, pereserving some of the odd spacing but still creating some level of reference.

Thanks for the responses.
 
I have spent hundreds of hours working on clips of found noises.  Occasionally I have been quickly happy. And a few time I have spent lots of time splitting, moving, snapping.....
 
I was hoping extracting a rhythm-tempo from a noise this consistent could be easier.
 
The thump clip is only an attempt to create transients. Obviously not so useful unless perfect.

I went old school and used the beatmapper in acid. It stays on beat, then fades, yhen jumps back on beat.

I do not have acid. (Oh, whoa is me.)
 
"then fades"  means?  Loses beat?  Drifts?  Got some times?
 
Obviously I can create a shorter clip. But, the longer the clip(s), the more slight variations will be
enjoyed.
 
I have been removing bits from the front and rear attempting to get to some spot of joy.

How did you guys get these numbers?
 

 
When I reported the tempo in your original thread, I first trimmed the clip until it was starting with that strongest beat. Then I started playback, counted the cycles as 4/4 measures, stopped the transport at 9, and used Set Measure/Beat At Now to tell SONAR that was measure 9, beat 1. SONAR then resets the initial tempo to make the specified beat land on that absolute Now time.

Thank you for your clarity.
 
I will try and know more this week end, after the insanity of real life.

sorry for not being clearer.  i meant it drifts. 

Thank you for the clarity.
 
I will shorten the clip and try again.
