Oct 15, 2004 02:04 pm Kind of figured it out. I'll plug the .wav files into Acid, adjust the tempo, export em out and plug em into a program that doesn't adjust the tempo. Kind of a pain, but what are you gonna do. Anybody else do it this way?
Drum Loop .wav Question

So I'm new, I'm trying to group together different .wav files of drum beats to make a complete drum track. What program do I use for this? Tried Acid, but with the overall song tempo, every .wav file that I insert gets totally altered into a different sounding beat. Granted, I'd want to change the tempo of some of the different .wav files so they fit, but individually, you know?

Oct 15, 2004 03:25 pm Seems to me, that if you use Acid, and take just one file, then you can adjust the tempo until you find the tempo you're looking for. Then you can add the other beats until you have what you're looking for, and everything will be the same tempo. I'm assuming you are using beat loops, and not just samples of one time hits.

Oct 16, 2004 12:33 am Yea you guys are both right. I've got a drum cd in which every wav file is one tempo. I plug it into Acid and depending on the nature of the beat (half-time or something odd, other than your usual boom chic boom chic stuff) Acid will sometimes get the tempo wrong. That's why I was asking - the song tempo is set at 120, I add a hi-hat wav that is at '85' originally (so says acid) and I adjust that wav file to the correct tempo using the song tempo. Then I add the main drum beat, except it's now sounding 3 times the speed it's supposed to because acid has taken its 'original tempo' (which is wrong to begin with) and adjusted it to the song tempo and the result is a completely different beat than what I hear through winamp.
I think there is a tool on here though, where you can set the correct tempo of each wav file - beat mapper or something. I'll check that out tonight.
edit: no i won't, too tired. tomorrow i will
