What's your method for slicing and organizing samples for Drumagog?

[csholtmeier]

I'm having a bitch of a time with this.

Currently using Logic and ProTools, but I'll try something else if it works better.

Strip Silence in Logic leaves a bit of silence in front of the actual transient, and editing each one would take a year

 

[greyskull]

stop using drumagog and buy trigger
but in tools, you can seperate region at transients, in the edit menu i think
then tab to the mic track, hold down Ctrl and click on each sliced samples.
This will allign it to the tab point.
then use beat detective to fill and crossfade the gaps.

Takes forever and I hate it, but I do it by hand because I don't trust any transient detection well enough.

 

[greyskull]

or use audio to midi in logic and trigger it with midi

Ok, ProTools strip silence seems to not leave the gap at the beginning of each hit.

My next question, how do I get the seperate samples out of PT? Preferrably organzized into folders. I'm using PT8 btw.

Thanks for help so far.

again... use edit - seperate region - at transients - pre trigger ammount . Ammount
or use beat detective to separate, then do your fades afterwards.

Um, not following you here Grey. PT is indeed editing the hits properly.

Now I'm looking for a way to get those seperated clips into a folder.

Like greyskull i do it the long way, but it gets done properly.

Dump into p.tools then go to the start of the sample and chop it right up at the start of the waveform. No fade on front end, not needed (wont pop). Fade end of sample to taste. Highlight the whole sample and consolidate.

Go to audio pool once done and grab all the consolidated samples. Listen to all consolidated samples and decide which are hard,med,soft hits ect

It takes an hour but at least you know the samples are cut right up against the start of the waveform, cough cough slate, cough cough

Rather than do it in the DAW, I use a dedicated wav editor to make samples out of tracks. I just import the consolidated track out of the audio folder into Sound Forge and cut it up there and save each hit in an aptly named folder.

If it's a single track use export region as file to get the consolidated regions into a folder.

 

[Scott C.]

once you have em chopped up and renamed you should be able to export them out of pt with cntrl-shift-k

 

[Mikaël-ange]

Do it by hand because I want my sample to be cut with a certain way.
