Tracktion and Cool Edit success story.

be recorded. it makes perfect sense.

Ron doesn't much like sense; or at least he regards it with no small degree of suspicion. A bit like old-timers when faced with funny foreign foodstuffs: it looks funny, it smells funny, and no good ever came of it.

guess i'd need an example

RonC

can you not imagine it already ron?!

try and record something in Tracktion.. stick a mic outside to record ALL the sounds going on outside.

TRY TO RECORD IT ALL!! THAT IS YOUR MISSION!!!

okay. that's fair enough. now WHILE you're recording, you're also trying to work on a song. sure you can make a drum loop first and just loop it alongside the recording. but that's not making a song is it? try to actually make a song and move pieces around, draw notes in, import other files, and actually work on a song, WHILST the mic is recording. you can't! so you need to be recording into something else! it's very simple and makes perfect sense. please don't tell me that you don't understand! i can't give you any more examples just try it yourself.

I guess I dont get "moving pieces" around why I would want to record that. It just sounds weird

RoNC

[Lunch Money]

He's not recording the pieces getting moved around. Cool Edit wasn't recording Tracktion... it was recording the musicians who were still noodling around while he was working on arrangement within Tracktion.

Ron, I hope you're taking the piss. I admit, I wouldn't bother using both programs at the exact same time, either... but I understand what's being said here.

Greg

[rpc9943]

I understand what theyre doing but not why they would.

Thats my point.

RonC

[Lunch Money]

It was mentioned earlier in the thread-- to not miss a single moment of noodling, because someone might accidentally play something brilliant that deserves revisiting.

Greg

[rpc9943]

but noodling on a guitar can be recorded in tracktion

RonC

[Lunch Money]

Not while you're in the middle of editing. Ron, I'm now convinced that you're taking the piss, so I'll just chuckle and not feed you anymore.

[rpc9943]

what do you mean the middle of editing? seriously. i have no idae what you could or would possibly want to edit while someone is noodling on guitar

I still don't understand. You could just make a drum loop in T1 and drag it out to like 35 minutes...
RonC

I don't get this statement. How do you make a single drum loop and then "drag it out" to a much longer time? I'm relatively new to Tracktion, and I didn't know you could do this (?). It would come in handy for my work. Is this possible? Without cutting and pasting the loop a hundred or so times?

Select the loop and click the "loop this clip" button.

If it was a war of attrition between ron and the wall, I wouldn't give much for the wall's odds...

That I knew. How that equates to your statement "drag it out to like 35 minutes" (especially since I'm offered to loop the clip only up to 32 times) isn't entirely clear, but thanks anyway.

First of all "drag it out to like 35 minutes" came from Ron, I have better grammar than that.

I should have been more specific: Once the clip is looped it can be trimmed and edited as if it were one long take.. including slip-editing the end point as far on as you like. Try it, you'll wonder how anyone ever lived without that feature before!
