Resampling - Why?

Resampling - Why?


Because it makes your sound bad when you change the pitch of it. Also because you want to make diplo style vocals.

With the edison resample stuff is one of the simpliest things ever only press the rec button and choose the option on play( it means he start record once you press play) or in input ( start record when you reproduce any sound) and then drag and drop the .wav

Resampling is also very usefull for creating some particular sounds or i use it for ex for the back reverb...

Basiccaly everything you can normally do only with audio sample (stretch,chop,rearrange)now you can do it with a sound recorded from a synth

Well that's not true, it can make it sound better in some cases such as when you have the pitch specific modulations that only sound good on a certain note

Another benefit(? ... YMMV on this point) is that it forces you to "move on." While one might say "but I want to stay in MIDI for maximum control!", ultimately, some (well, I do but then again, you may not) tend to get stuck. By bouncing to .WAV, you basically force yourself to go forward with the actual production of your track. Again, some will probably disagree with me on this, but frankly if you really need to go back to MIDI, save another project with just the elements that will be resampled before you go-ahead and bounce.

good point, I do this pretty much every time I resample and I suggest everyone does it too. It sucks when that situation actually happens when you want to go back to a patch that you've deleted.

You can also resample when specific boosted or cut frequencies are vital to your sound design. So when cut a frequency and sample it, the cut moves up and down when a different note is played.

I didn't read all the posts here but I have a really simple technique. (for ableton live)

1. Insert MIDI notes to the instrument that you want to resample.
2. Freeze the track by right clicking and clicking on the "freeze track" option.
3. Create a new audio track.
4. CTRL drag the frozen midi block to the audio track.

This is the method I find easiest and best

If you rightclick->freeze you can then rightclick->flatten and it will create a straight up new audio track over your previous track, really useful for the mixing stage.

o rly. will have to try this.

another thing to consider is that with ableton when you resample it will automagically put volume faders at the beginning and ends of your clips which will help get rid of some of the popping and clicking noises.

Or click the disc icon at the bottom of a mixer channel and select the two top options in the mixer dropdown menu

This is awesome! Didn't know about this!

^ Also great but I find myself saving a frozen copy JUST in case I want to do some more midi editing.

Well... I'm glad I taught someone something ^^
