In this weeks labs, we have been editing together a piano recording. There are several different takes of the same piece, ranging in tempo. The assignment included taking certain chunks of bars from different takes, depending on the better performance. We tried doing time expansion on some of the parts, but the piano is a complex instrument. The waveform and sounds seem too complex still, for the software to fully and accurately maintain the original sound quality. After completing the assignment, we tried out some drum replacing/enhancing. To do this, create a duplicate track of the one you want to replace. Find a transient that you like, and make sure you cut it where you want it. Bring it down to the new track, and zoom all the way in get the audio to the proper starting point and make sure it matches to the grid. If you don’t stay locked in grid, things can get messy fast and your audio will be all out of line. Taylor and I got some really cool bass samples that we edited into a custom rhythm. We then ran it through the eventide harmonizer and got a few different pitched rhythmic takes. We organized the pattern into a little odd time groove in grid.
