Hey fellas,

i wanna create a kickdrum in wavelab 11 .
iam able to generate a sine wave 24bit mono, 42 hz. i can open the pitchbend dialogue and i have selected the pitch area before, but when i wanna apply the curve, nothing happens.
what am i doing wrong?

thanks for a tip!

Any reason why you want to create a kickdrum in Wavelab? Synthesizers are much more suited for the creation of kickdrums (and any other percussive sound).

How long is that audio clip?

Suppose you want a kick suitable for 16th notes, at 120bmp that's 125ms long for one kick. Your 42Hz cycle fits in there only 3 times. I doubt bending the pitch afterwards can do much with that.

In most proper audio editors you can specify a start & end frequency when generating it. Far better than attempting to bend it afterwards.

its 1 sec long.
yes, you can do that while doing the sine wave, but not with control like a envelope.
