Timestretching

[GRAFIK]

Okay in FL you know you can slow or speed up a sample, but only to +200% or -200% for it to still remain in key. Is there any way you can speed it up more or slow it down more than that. Like can you got to like 400+????????? if anyone knows any techniques on how to do this please expalin, thanks!

wouldn't that make the sample sound real crazy bro? I think it's generally recomended not to time stretch more than even 50% as the sound starts fugging up. I'll see if I can find a way though

 

[GRAFIK]

well sometimes i take just like a sampled key, and time stretch it -200% and it sounds fine to me. but sometimes i want it to be a little more timestreched. everything is still in key and it sounds alright so, i dont know?

There is another way that time stretching to sustain the note of a sampled note... it's loop points... in the FL editor, you can add loop points, that would be way WAY better, IMO...

yeah man, if you want a piano note or other sound to loop repeatedly then loop points liek Sygma said is probably the best way to go about it

 

[GRAFIK]

alright thanks guys, i will try that out

i have to register to view the tutorial??

^^^

probably, only takes a second to do

it's worth registering anyway cause there are lots of good tutorials there yo

peace

loop points dont work too well with samples often

i have found loop points to be difficult and tedious.

 

[Bobby Ffitch]

^i disagree.. spend a few minutes moving em around and you can usually find a pretty smooth loop. pay attention to the visual cues as well...

 

[Sanova]

^ thats what i try to do. although i do this in audition, if that makes a difference. cuz i be tryna loop a sample to make it longer and i follow the visual peaks and whatnot but it always sounds nasty and "looped"

 

[sYgMa]

Actually, that depends on the sound itself. It works great on some sounds, when they aren't that complicated, that is...

-when the wavform is simple
-you can see what's the part that is repeated over and over to make the sound...
-when that part is identical (or almost identical) every time it's repeated

It can suck and it is tedius but when done right its an amazing tool.
If you sampled a sick bass note off a record thats just the bass note and you can find a decent loop in it.
Then your good as gold. Alot of times I find dope bass sounds on records that I just can't emulate or find in a preset. If I'm able to add loops points to the sample I'm in like flint because now I can play any bassline and not have to worry about note lengths.

wait. Are you trying out all the diferent timestretching algorhythms in FL?
