To quantize multi-tracked drums without stretching audio
When you fix timing errors in multi-tracked drum parts, you will frequently need to adjust all the drum
parts in exactly the same way, because drum parts often contain “bleed”—the sound of other drums
in the track of the drum that you are trying to record. For example, if your snare mic also picks up
some of the hi-hat sound, you can’t move hi-hat clips around without also moving the snare clips in
exactly the same way, because if you don’t, the sound of the hi-hat in the hi-hat track will conflict with
the sound of the hi-hat in the snare track.
AudioSnap’s
Add Transients to Pool command and Split Beats into Clips command allow you to
slice your drum tracks at identical locations, so you can then drag or quantize whole clips without
stretching any audio. This method of aligning clips does not change the phase relationships between
the clips, as long as you move all the clips identically.
Let’s take a look at some multi-tracked drum parts, and see how to quantize them all in exactly the
same way. The following project uses 10 mics, including room mics and overhead mics:
1. Select the Smart tool in the Control Bar.
2. Assign the track’s Edit Filter control to Audio Transients .
Audio clips display transient markers and the AudioSnap palette appears.
3. If necessary, edit each drum track’s transient markers so that there are no extraneous transients
(use the
Threshold slider, disable some transients, move others, etc.).
4. Disable all the transient markers in the overhead mic and room mic tracks.
5. Select all the drum tracks.
Note: The room mics and overhead mics are much farther from the drums than the close mics,
so the transients in their tracks occur a little later than the close mic tracks. Because you will
eventually split each beat into a separate clip, you only want to use the transient markers from
the close mic tracks to avoid cutting off any transients.
