Subject:Is there a way to Posted by: Reign Date:1/28/2004 11:24:46 AM add "simple echo" to a voice track so the echo's are on the same pace as the beat?....whenever i add an echo i always have to do it over and over til it sounds right....there has got to be some automated way to do this....also how can i set up sf to allow me to accurately clip parts of a song for echoing so not the entire track gets echoed...i want to do it accurately...not just by eying things up cause it's too much work thanks for any help!
Subject:RE: Is there a way to Reply by: Iacobus Date:1/28/2004 1:33:02 PM If you want a delay that falls on a particular beat/note value, try this formula: (60,000 / (tempo)) x (desired note value) = (delay in ms) For example, if you wanted a delay to fall every quarter note in a tempo of 120 BPM: (60,000 / 120) x 1 = 500 ms If you wanted the delay to fall on every 8th note (typically half a beat): (60,000 / 120) x .5 = 250 ms There are beat calculators you can download, but those are for sissies!!!

Subject:RE: Is there a way to Reply by: Rednroll Date:1/28/2004 9:35:07 PM I'm a sissy then. I use a delay calculator. I actually, use a tap tempo key from my sequencer, to figure out the bpm, then plug that value into my delay calculater to find the delay time. I'm sure the people who still use slide rules for math, think us scientific calculator users are sissies too.

If you want a delay that falls on a particular beat/note value, try this formula:

(60,000 / (tempo)) x (desired note value) = (delay in ms)

For example, if you wanted a delay to fall every quarter note in a tempo of 120 BPM:

(60,000 / 120) x 1 = 500 ms

If you wanted the delay to fall on every 8th note (typically half a beat):

(60,000 / 120) x .5 = 250 ms

There are beat calculators you can download, but those are for sissies!!! (I'm just kidding!)
