Hi Guys,
I'm looking for a plugin which can take a sample and force the "transients" in it to be in time with a designated tempo, but do it automatically, without me shifting and aligning transients myself... but I'm not talking about drums loops, I'm talking more organic recordings, like field recordings.
I know that sounds weird, so I'll elaborate. I want to impart "strict" rhythm to very "loose" rhythmic parts. Say I recorded the sound of my dog barking, and I have 4 second recording (2 bars if 120bpm). Can I process that file to shift the barks around (forward or back - but independently of each other) so that each bark moves to the closest 8th, 16th (or whatever) note at 120bpm? Same might be said of a bird singing, or the sound of wood chopping, dropping a handful of marbles, walking on gravel etc. - I want to effect the audio so it has a quantized "rhythm" at a tempo I designate.
The important thing is that I can set the tempo, the divisions and what level identifies a "transient"... but it has to be automatic. I want to press a button and it renders the file in one step, no manual adjustments.
How can I do this? How would you do this? Is there a plugin that makes this easy?
