Subject:sync me up skottEE Posted by: Vmusic Date:9/3/2001 9:51:32 PM Yo.. check it out. I have 15 tracks recorded on a Roland hard disk recorder. My intentions sir... are to transfer each track to my pc as a separate wave file, and then bring them into a single acid project file to mix them in acid. HowEva..... I tried this with 3 tracks... and as I bring them into acid, it is showing they each have slightly different tempos (bmp's). Making the idea of lining them up imposible. I'm guessing some latency or something occured in the recording from the Roland to the pc. (I have an audiophille 2496 sound card) Any Ideas.. on how i can do this? Thanks, Vmusic.
Subject:RE: sync me up skottEE Reply by: spesimen Date:9/4/2001 11:37:14 AM a couple of ways you can do this: 1. if the roland can pitchshift to sync to a clock just setup acid as the master clock and record everything the same way but with midi-sync. this will probably still drift a bit but not for more than a bar here or there. 2. are you using spdif to record? sample accurate clock will preserve the signal better anyway. 3. doesn't the roland let you export to SCSI or something? i do a similar thing with the fostex vf16..it can just write those wav files to a zip disk though. i haven't tried the roland so i don't know if that's easy with it or not.
Subject:RE: sync me up skottEE Reply by: Maruuk Date:9/4/2001 1:00:54 PM Acid doesn't really hold one-shot sync anyway until the tracks are beatmapped. Find whatever you want to use as a master track, beatmap it, then beatmap the other 14 to it. If your tracks don't have hard attack events in them, expect to spend an enjoyable weekend hand-syncing them bar-by-bar. Acid promotes the feature "unlimited audio tracks." Of course, they never said they hold sync, did they? All depends on the definition of "tracks". In SF-speak, they are what trains run on, and go in all directions.
