sam cguitarzan and klemperer, i am afraid i will be of no help. i do write somethings by jamming or “noodling” but most of my ideas start from am interest in a rhythm or lyric. at that point i have decided if i want it to be 120 bpm 4/4 or 130 bpm 12/8. as for certain notes starting on the “and” or the fourth beat, that comes a little later but is already in the scope of the 135 bpm 12/8 time. i am writing blues, rock, and progressive rock. if you like, check out my newest, Don’t Expect Anything At all-here http://www.acidplanet.com/artist.asp?songs=315264&T=6329
what you guys say you are doing is interesting. makes me think a bit. but my sequence of writing is a bit different. i think! 😉
sam ci see what you mean. funny, we all write and come with ideas in different ways. well, as long as we keep playing and recording, that is what is so cool about all of this for me!
i saw you on the reaper forum, are you using reaper too? with Frits new update i will soon be exclusively Podium. i guess i will always watch reaper though. that justin is unbelievable!
sam cthanks Frits! Great update!

Hi all,
So my question: is it possible to record guitar freeform (no clicktrack) and then afterwards being able to match the MIDI tempo to my audio part? (this is important for using Jamstix to accompany the guitar-tempo-changes).
if you record a guitar freeform, can you maintain proper time?
i am curious what you are doing this for?
sam cFrits, that is outstanding!!!
Thank you!

I use this folder-feature to reduce the choices I have, say putting my most beloved guitar-ampsim (Revalver2) into the first choice folder, the next good ones (freeamp2 for example) in a B folder, and so on.
those are two of my favorites too!

cheers!
thanks klemperer. i really believe the need for this is important. i have become diligent about editing out mic sounds, open amplifier sounds, and more. it can be very time consuming….even with the best tools. so, thanks for checking it out!

That’s a good example. Trying to look at the bigger picture, would it not be the best solution to have a function that automatically cut out silent passages in a recording? I’m thinking a function similar to the Beat Slice, which has a dialog with various settings and a preview button. There would be settings for silence level threshold (dB), silence time threshold (ms), spike threshold (ms, to be able to cut out clicks in a silent passage) and fade-in/out time on the split events to get rid of clicks.
i like that feature as well. but the ability to do it on your own is still important for many reasons. what if i am simply removing the vocal “ohh” in 12 spots along 8 measures.
thanks for listening!

I don’t comment much (ie. Never at all before now) but I have to say; it takes all of about two seconds to move up to the timeline, click where you want, and go back down. Is it really that much of a problem?
glad i brought you out of the woodwork.
if you have ever have to edit a live mic on 4 minutes of a vox track you will find splitting a track with an S, moving the play cursor with the arrow keys and mouse cursor in any finite increment and not having to click on the cut tool and top of the timeline repeatedly a very effecient thing.
since it is of no consequence to you, maybe an option to do so would be o.k. with you. that way, you don’t have to change…..nor do i.
sam cconquistador, that was an outstandingly helpful post.
thank you!
sam c“this is implemented in all major hosts so you have to implement this” like you do in a few threads. .
you do realize your quote is not my words?
my point is that some functions are so critical and universal that it becomes a standard in an application. all of us can work quicker if we can click anywhere in the track area and the cursor is there, then move the arrow and the cursor moves in increments that you have indicated, 16th notes for example. i can race through editing this way as could anybody because the funtions all remain in the same place on the GUI. Like it or not it is very logical and that is why almost very app functions this way. it is not a bad thing.
if you are working on extensive fine editing on 8 bars on the 14th track, so we are down towards the bottom of the track view, and you can click on the cursor or use arrow keys to make 9 fine edits i guarantee you i can move faster and work more effeciently if i do not have to bring my mouse to the top of the window in order to move my cursor. and then struggle with fine adjustments of 16ths and 32nds.
hopefully my sincere interest in a vital change is not taken as an insult. certainly it is not meant to be.
sam ci have been using the free nebula and it is pretty cool!

An essential feature if you have a large collection of plugins.
My thoughts exactly. Highly useful for me.
could you possibly elaborate?
sam cBe patient…
it is hard but i try! 🙂
sam clast night for ex i was editing out open mic noise and i needed to get to move about an 1/8 note forward. but honestly, editing on a normal everyday basis is far more than a bar only. why put that sort of a limit on it? what if i want the ohhhh out at the beginning of a phrase. or i hit an open e after a perfect guitar solo and just want it gone.
i want to be able to do this on the main track window.
