Flex Editing Drums in Logic
Oct 27th, 2009, 06:52
Hi,
In his video, Flex Time Editing 104, in chapter 4, Steve explains how to quantize drums.
I have some questions about that:
1-Shouldn't transiant markers be editied (on tracks that will be used as Quantizing reference) before Quantizing Drums? This step wasn't in chapter 4.
2-Is it possible to only use part of a track as quantizing reference?
For instance, in the beginning, the drummer only plays the ride on quarter notes, however, he plays mostly on the Hi-Hats (instead of the ride) for the rest of the track. I would like to switch between the Hi-Hat and Ride as quantizing reference because I don't want the bleed to influence the quantizing when a part is not playing (a specific mic was used for a ride). Is this possible?
3-I'm a bit confused. The dark lines are Quantzing reference lines and the pale one are transiant markers? Or is it the other way around?
4-Are quantizing reference lines really always on transiant markers? Then what's the point of having several Q-reference tracks? If the Snare and Base drum fall on the same beat, but are only slightly off, which one will it choose?
Thanks for your help
