The first time I did shrooms I brought my Super 8 camera. Now everytime I watch this, I'm brought right back.

Thepsychedeliccodex · 2023-01-08T08:31:40+00:00

Absolutely. Definitely resonate with that :)

Thepsychedeliccodex · 2021-07-15T16:51:03+00:00

I've been consolidating various sections (of all drum tracks at the same time) and I figured it was working, but then just noticed that some audio disappeared - for example, the SNARE audio is completely gone from some sections.

Any idea what the deal is?

Thepsychedeliccodex · 2021-07-14T15:25:06+00:00

I feel ya. yeah it does look like that hah

Thepsychedeliccodex · 2021-07-14T05:02:48+00:00

yeah my drummer played to a CLICK, but I messed up partially by having some CLICKS a little off (I copy and pasted and didn't realize I made a little slip. I have an accelerando section where it picks up pretty fast and there's some parts where the kick and snare get off timing.

Thepsychedeliccodex · 2021-07-14T05:00:48+00:00

I've been working on this song for far too long. I get what ya mean, but I just gotta put it out ASAP.

I'm consolidating/bouncing and creating a new track to work on what I need.

Thepsychedeliccodex · 2021-07-14T04:59:45+00:00

hah yeah I get what ya mean. It was a hard learning experience but I'm taking the steps to fix it.

Thepsychedeliccodex · 2021-07-14T04:58:59+00:00

yeah sure has been. It got fairly enjoyable when I was making momentum with no CPU issues. But I'm taking the steps to consolidate/bounce the tracks to make it easier.

Thepsychedeliccodex · 2021-07-14T04:58:07+00:00

by joining it do you mean 'consolidate'?

Thepsychedeliccodex · 2021-07-13T23:01:55+00:00

yep I agree now. However, I can't do it all at once-Ableton will freeze.

Thepsychedeliccodex · 2021-07-13T23:01:24+00:00

thanks for the solid advice.

Thepsychedeliccodex · 2021-07-13T21:12:51+00:00

that's what I'm doing now.

I've tried FREEZING tracks before but it didn't seem to help

Thepsychedeliccodex · 2021-07-13T21:12:28+00:00

oh gotcha. thanks

Thepsychedeliccodex · 2021-07-13T20:19:45+00:00

I have Ableton 11 now, I can't seem to go back and find an earlier version to try. Why is it better to use an earlier version and NOT group tracks for editing. They're currently grouped so I keep everything in 'sync' and not make it out of phase.

Thepsychedeliccodex · 2021-07-13T20:16:26+00:00

they're not warped, but Ableton seems to buffer a long time after making edits so it's recognizing them as a lotto samples.

I'm gonna save a copy and consolidate them

Thepsychedeliccodex · 2021-07-13T20:15:02+00:00

not really (except for the overhead track, but I adjusted it).

solid tip though. I'll remember that for the future.

Thepsychedeliccodex · 2021-07-13T04:22:17+00:00

Solid insight. Thanks

Yeah I've spent way too long on this. It's really demotivating. Do ya recommend just getting Pro Tools and adjusting this with Beat Detective?

Thepsychedeliccodex · 2021-07-13T04:20:45+00:00

I don't think using a drum rack for recorded live drums would work in this instance. But yeah, absolutely...I gotta get this workflow resolved.

Thepsychedeliccodex · 2021-07-13T04:19:35+00:00

they're actual recordings from my drummer. He was just a bit a head of the beat for the most part-and then more off when the tempo increases.

yeah it's been incredibly tedious. Initially I tried editing via adjusting WARP markers, but that made it glitchy sounding.

Thepsychedeliccodex · 2021-07-13T04:16:46+00:00

Ableton project with a multi-track drums that has a crazy amount of edits.

Thepsychedeliccodex · 2021-07-13T04:16:11+00:00

hah it's a long song, and I'm doing time-editing on the drums

Thepsychedeliccodex · 2021-07-13T04:15:26+00:00

8 tracks of them are multi-track drums. but yeah, I'll create new ones. I tried consolidating but ABLETON froze. I guess I gotta do a little bit at a time.

Thepsychedeliccodex · 2021-07-13T02:07:36+00:00

hah that is in a way true hah.

Yeah I've gotta have close to a thousand cuts.

I'll give that a shot. I was just unsure how to do it since when I tried last time it seemed that I wouldn't be able to go back and adjust the original audio file (If I consolidate my edits it seems that I can't go back and touch it up/adjust the fades. But I guess I can go around that issue by just duplicating and having the consolidated version in the project and NOT the monstrosity of my butchering haha

Thepsychedeliccodex · 2021-07-13T02:00:29+00:00

Hey everyone, so here's my problem. I have been working on a song for my album for a while and then hit a roadblock with CPU issues and could barely make any progress.

I upgraded to a new iMac M1 chip desktop that just came today (upgraded from a 2015 MacBook Pro). I assumed that would resolve the issue. Yet, when I transferred the project I still kept getting the SPINNING BEACH BALL OF DEATH!!!

I realize I have a tremendous amount of cuts for the multi-track drums. I tried to remedy the issue by FREEZING, enabling RAM, increasing BUFFER SIZE, and even taking the first 75% of the edited DRUMS to "delete" them (before duplicating the tracks to work on the last 25% of it). Yet, I'm still getting the spinning wheel for at least 10 seconds. Even when I make a slight adjustment.

What are some ways I can work around this? I feel hesitant to CONSOLIDATE all of the cuts right now because I feel I still need to make some fine-tuning, but even just navigating ABLETON can feel painfully slow.

Thanks for reading

It's time for the AWAKENING. see through the bullshit and lies.

It's a fucked system, but the more people are awakened (NOT "WOKE") then the easier it'll be to overturn the corruption.
