multi-clip warping

Comment créer et copier le même warp marker dans chaque fichier:

Pour pouvoir faire du multi track warping et quantizer les pistes ensembles, toutes les pistes doivent être de même longueur.

Si en sélectionnant les pistes concernées, il est affiché dans la vue clip : "clips audio with different Lengths are selected", il faut consolider ces dites-pistes [CTRL+J] pour les rendre à la même longueur.

transient shaping with beats mode

I've previously covered beats mode's usefulness as a stutter effect.

Activer le warp en mode beats, désactiver le mode loop et mettre la répétition à "off" (simple flèche), puis, simply pull down the envelope to taste. Écouter le résultat :

Les drums deviennent plus percussives au fur et à mesure que l'enveloppe shaping prend effet. this can be an extremely desirable compositional tool. NOTE: L'enveloppe amount n'est pas midi-mappable/automatable.

FAIRE DES CHOSES ETRANGES AVEC texture warp mode

Essayer texture au lieu de complex. texture operates by chopping your sample up into tiny bits (grains) & overlapping them in various amounts. grain size, naturally, controls the size of these slices & flux adds a little bit of randomness to the process. the more you change the pitch or length of your clip, the more extreme the temporal distortion & smearing becomes. have a listen to the difference after this marimba has some texture warping applied:

Et si on ne change pas le pitch ou length of the sample but you want to introduce that texture mode goodness? here's the simple method I used to record the above example:

>double the length and change the pitch

>consolider (cmd-j) to "apply" the warp mode

>inverse step one (half the length and do the opposite pitch change)

complex pro to preserve vocalist timbre

if you've ever pitched a vocal sample with clip transpose you've either been very satisfied with the otherworldly, unusual sound or frustrated by its unnatural qualities. complex mode offers a method to preserve the timbre of a voice while still changing pitch (to a certain extent). it may not always be perfect, but don't forget this is an option when changing the pitch of a vocal sample. I recorded out a quick comparison of the original clip, transpose via complex, & transpose via complex pro to give you an idea of their possible uses:

creative possibilities of warping

I want to wrap up this article by just encouraging you to look at warping beyond it's usefulness for keeping things in time. pulling transients to & fro can unlock new rythmic possibilities & offers a whole new compositional tool.

next time you import a drum loop that is too straightforward or synth line that stays too stagnant, try mixing it up by pulling some of its warp markers around. the only thing to keep in mind is you probably want to create new markers before & after the area you are going to play with, just to "lock in" the timings you want to preserve. or maybe you don't! try new things & let the novel sounds & rhythms warping introduces be your guide to where you take your track next.
