Here’s a new project idea. I’ll let you in on the process of creating a new track.
\nLately a song is recorded, then minimally mixed, then it’s published here and I never don’t look back.<\/p>\n
But sometimes it’s fun making something and building on it till it seems done.
\nThat’s where this project comes in. For the next 10 days a new portion of this track will be published with the latest additions mentioned here.<\/p>\n
The core sample was found from an older song. It came from a long session. This loop was pulled out back then. It has a pop so it needed to be cleaned up to fit in the main audio editor.
\nThis was chopped in Audacity and made loopable. I found that the best free audio editing software (on any platform) can’t do a very basic operation: stretch a loop to an exact time. This loop was a bit short of the full 4 seconds of a perfect 120 bpm. So I stretched it to 4 seconds and it was still just shy. When importing it to a new audio program (Garageband). The loop feature quickly got out of phase with the timeline.<\/p>\n
After many attempts at fixing it to no avail, including making it a mono track, the hack solution was to stretch it a little further than 4 seconds, then manually cut it shorter to exactly 4 seconds then fade our and in the end and beginning of the file to give ‘zero-crossings’ at the loop point.<\/p>\n
This works but it is now but is a few milliseconds ‘untrue’ which pisses me off.<\/p>\n
The mp3 here is the current working loop. Also included is the original wav file. It loops fine as is, but as mentioned isn’t a perfect 120 bpm.<\/p>\n
If you want can fix the original, go for it. I’d love to use it here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
