Configuration

Application-wide setup

  • Change undo/redo to "alternative undo" which is actually NORMAL undo (their "normal" is like FUBAR emacs undo/redo)

Starting project setup

  • Select a template, In The Mix has a good one, see here.
  • Save as... and give a name and store your project in a new folder in your projects folder (which is hopefully backed up, raided, shareable, all that goodness).
  • Options > Project info > set the Title Author Weblink Genre
  • Options > Project general settings > Data folder > change from "Auto" to the project folder.


Usage

  • There are no tooltips for buttons, you have to look up in the far left corner when hovering over a control to get a description of what it does.
  • Study using this great youtube channel: In The Mix

Time-correcting sampled tracks

  • In the channel rack, click the audio file to open the wav editor.
  • Right-click ON THE WAVE, and select "Edit in time warper" (newtime)
    • On the right-click menu, you can also "Edit in pitch editor" (newtone)
  • Flags will be set on audio spikes; set the snap via the MAGNET button, then drag the flags as needed
  • To save the changes, click and hold the "Drag selection" to the WAV in the piano roll to overwrite it.

Tempo got all fucked up on me tho when I stretched the tempo of the WAV BEFORE using newtone for a second time. Hrmph.
