sweep sound 2 problems

[jstoddart]

1) i created a sweep like sound by reversing a crash sample. the problem is that there is a bit of a delay before it comes in when i lay it in the track .. from where i position it in the song it takes like 5 secs to kick in. how can i overcome this?

2) when i copy ir to audio list it lays it as the original crash (the sample is not reversed) .. i have to use the blocks too trigger it ..

If its the sound itself you need to truncate the begining of that sound so that it starts as soon you trigger the sound. It could be that there was some silence after the crash when played forward so that when reversed there is a pause before it starts.

even if i change the crash sample i get the same result .. a 2 sec crash turns into a 5-10 sec sweep ...

what are you using to record it?

 

[jstoddart]

The actual sound may be 5-10 seconds....with the tail of the sound just carrying on for a few more seconds......You probably just don't hear it during a track due to the other sounds/instruments drowning it out.

I would take a look @ the waveform and check....if that is the case...chop out the unnecessary parts and save as is......You'll have to put it in a certain spot so that it works as well...it's not going to fit perfectly in your piano roll..
