I recently got ozone. wow I love it.. im gettin harbal and wave lab soon.. next week..yay!
What a diffrence ozone makes to a mix. wow
anyways..heres my problem..when I am doing a song.. and i did a hook, after my verse I copy the hook and paste it but no matter what i do its off beat..either too slow or too fast..no matter what I do, but if i record the 2nd hook its on beat..there has to be a trick to that... is there a way I can do this in a easier process?
im sorry if my question is hard to understand i dont know how else to say it...

Feb 05, 2005 10:01 pm I think that what you're experiencing is snapping. There should be an option in your recording software (or is this occuring in Ozone?) to turn off the "snap to grid" option, or at least to make the grid more precise than what it's at now. Maybe it's set to snap to the nearest bar or nearest beat. Set it to the finest precision you can or turn it off altogether. That way, when you paste the wave file into the track, you can be more precise with where you put it.
Feb 05, 2005 11:12 pm i think ur ruight..so should i uncheck all snapping? i am using adobe audition 1.5 just so u know.
here is my seetings
CHECKED-Snap to cues
CHECKED-Snap to ruler (Coarse)
UNCHECKED-Snap to ruler (fine)
CHECKED-Snap to clips
UNCHECKED-Snap to loop endpoints
UNCHECKED-Snap to frames always
what should be settings be?
Feb 05, 2005 11:24 pm Well, I guess it depends on how you want to place your wav files. If you check "Snap to Ruler (fine)" then you'd have pretty good control over where things end up when you paste or move them.
I'm not sure what "snap to clips" and "snap to frames always" do. One of them may give you an even finer gradient for where things snap to.
Feb 05, 2005 11:57 pm yeah i dont understand this whol snapping thing..but there has to be a way out there to do this!
Feb 06, 2005 02:17 am In addition if your going to cut and paste you have to make sure that you trim the copy to a point where it matches seemlessly to what you are adding it too, otherwise it will be off.

Feb 06, 2005 02:15 pm Hey, for snapping choruses into place, this is what I do (assuming the chorus wave doesn't snap exactly into place naturally). First make sure only snapping to ruler (fine) is the only snapping taking place. Then I go into wav editor mode and create a new wav that is just 10 seconds of silence. Go back to mulitrack view, and put the silence in it's own track (ideally the track right above or below the chorus you're trying to copy/paste -it's just easier to see), and make sure it is snapped to a bar in front where the chorus wav block starts. Then select the 10 sec of silence wav block, and the chorus wav block, and bounce to new track. Now, you should have a wav block that has a chorus with some silence in front of it. However, when you insert more of the same wav block (it should be called mixdown, before you save it) and arrange it, it should snap right into place. Once you get all your choruses arranged, you can go into wav editor again and delete the silence (make sure in you lock all your choruses in time, in the multitrack view or they move when you delete the beginning of the wav).
Anyways, I hope you can understand what I'm talking about. Otherwise, what you can do, is make sure you there is no snapping at all and zoom in real close and arrange that way. This is more hit or miss, but you can make it work.
