there is this feature in Pro tools. "Tab to Transient"
something withought i wud imagine editing audio, espesially one with an unknown or arbid tempo a tad uneasy. It makes editing sections and stuff out a breeze. Espesially while doing music such as Indian Classical, that does not follow and tempo.

Now Nuendo still remains to be my DAW of choice, but such editing is really something of an unwanted senario. Any clues as to how to go bout it..??? and also i wish they wud let u record across multiple drives...

thanks a ton.

Don't think you can do it. Which is a pity, because it'd be very cool.

Nuendo can set split at silence then tab between parts in a track. right click and use the remove silence function... I forget what the key is to move between parts.... (this also lets you do beat all detective functions quick and easy with quantituze and groove/tempo mapping)

Samplitude sets markers at transients/silence and ltes you scroll through that way...

thanks ppl.. i see that there are workarounds... though none as quick or clean as the tab to transient mode. Also ill need to chek it out to see it's accuracy.

tell me robert.. ure a big samp fan... does it really score over nuendo (given that nuendo is running stable) I do some work for film.. so i need thumbnails with video scroll (edit mode) and excellent midi implimentation... i do (intend to) make a lotta music in the box.

i cheked out a demo recently... i cud not get to like the GUI... and also the fact that ure stuk with a distortion on every track kinda put me off (or maybe u can remove it)

thanks,
Sidhu

heh the distortion is just in the skin they ship it with, you can make your own, and omit the button (and just select distortion when you want it via the normal plugin list). not sure what you dont like about the interface, they both have the 'time warp' thing now, for matching smpte/time points to midi etc. nuendo of course still a bit better for quantization of midi & the MFX/midi plugins but thats it, samp wins everywhere else, esp performance..

hmmm... thats cool then... tell em how much does samp cost where ure from... dont think they have a distributor in india. and Nuendo ?

seriously tell me.. how good is the Samp midi ? (rewire etc?) when compares to nuendo.. i heard they as of yet did not have VSTi's multi out support..??? but for regular day to day work... stable and stuff??? also is it a VST native or does it use wrappers...? DXi ? what about hte new lane editing that nuendo has... i havnt tried it yet.. but i think it's gonna be very cool for comps and all... oh... and most important.. can it support a video track?? along with an edit mode or regular video scroll along timeline ?

u also mention that samp is not as good with midi quant and plugins... but i can quantize lenghts and ends??? and does this mean i cant use that arppegiator plugin ?

I just might want to give Samp a shot...

I.. errr... BUMP !

well i hate to be a salesman, but since you bumped..a 'really cool' take/comping editor is coming to the next version of samplitude, according to the developers. multi-out vsti is simpler than nuendo, you choose the vsti as a plugin on the channel you want it on, click a dialog asking whether you want all 16 outs to have seperate channels created (if not theyll be mixed into one), and start playing. theres no fuddling around with a 'synth rack' and then routing midi outputs manually from a channel afterwards. midi parts & the resultant vst-params/midicontroller/pan/volume automation can all be overlaid in the same lane in the project window, also inside a single midi part, you can just select notes, and choose midi channel from a list, to do multiout drum parts without switching back and forth between parts...this virtually eliminates the vertical-scrolling that seemed to be necessary in nuendo as soon as you start using it, let alone add in automation, multiple instances & channels, etc...

dx/vst anywhere without wrappers, each audio clip has its own 'insert rack' and other stuff individually adjustable, eq, stretch etc....burn to cd faster than realtime from project w/o a bounce to .wav first..and your projects files can be in mp3, flac, etc and will just be decoded at playtime, so you can drag in a mp3 or lossless compressed file, cut it up and work on it and not waste more disk space...video, anything with a windows codec will play,,

anyways just try the demo...

I think i might like it...
ill give it a shot and then start saving for either....
