stub303hotmail.com Posted May 22, 2001 Share Posted May 22, 2001 Say for example I'm recording in looped mode a 4 measure loop. Why is it that after it loops once, the metronome throws itself out of sync???? It will still record fine, but it's distracting with the metronome off 1/12th of a measure. I've been using Cake for about 4 years now, but can't figure out how to fix this in pro audio 9. What do I need to change to fix this???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never really trusted the PA9 metronome for a variety of reasons, you might want to considering using a hihat MIDI track instead.... -david abraham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calfee Jones Posted May 22, 2001 Share Posted May 22, 2001 Are you sure that your loop covers the full 4 measures (timewise)? If it was a little short then the metronome would fall out of sync. If that was the case you would notice the error build up over time... - Calfee Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippie Posted May 22, 2001 Share Posted May 22, 2001 If the piece you are looping isn't falling exactly on the beat boundries, of the tempo you originally recorded with, you will see this problem. A work-around I've used is the "fit to improvisation" option. ie: you can used a midi instrument to define your tempo grid, and then work your loops based upon the boundries you have defined. This also works great for live band recording, that does not follow a click track. The manual gives a more detailed explaination, under the topic of "fit to improvisation". Good luck, -Hippie PS: make sure the "snap to" option is set to "off" when cutting up the piece to be looped, or it will always be putting the "now time" cursor on the measure boundry. This is ok to leave on, if the looped piece falls on the measure boundries, which it rarely does. did you get all that?? In two days, it won't matter.

stub303hotmail.com Posted May 23, 2001 Author Share Posted May 23, 2001 It loops flawlessly despite the number of measures, however only the metronome tic falls maybe a 16th triplet out of sync every time. (and yes the loop is a full measure loop all the way down to x:xx:000) Despite the metronome being out of sync, it will still loop and record fine. It's really not that big of a deal once I have a beat, but it's something that's been bugging me for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
