Hitpoint Editing (Cubase SX)

[MARKEG]

right this is what I'm doing right now:

Import a sample > enter Sample Edit mode, then Hitpoint Edit mode, then set bars then create audio slices > then editing each seperate block - process/effect - whatever. wow. i can't believe how powerful this is.

so is there anything else apart form the standard reverse/effects etc on each block that anyone has figured out on this hitpoint shit?? i know you've got a mute tool for your slices and wow i can take out hitpoints i don't want.

but is there anything else?

what an amazing feature....

you probably know this already but, hitpoint editor is the same as propellorheads re-cycle, which means that aswell as creating audio slices and detecting bpm from a loop you can also create midi groove templates from your slices,

double click on audio,
calculate hitpoints,
go back to hitpoint menu and select create groove quantize cubase will automatically save a groove quantize that will apear in the list of quantize settings.

After calculating the hitpoints then I go to the hitpoint menu.. my only options are "Creat audio slices" and "Divide Audio Events".....
"Calculate" and "Create Groove Quantize" are grey. What am I doing wrong?

Personally, I rewire reason in to Cubase specifically so I can manulipate rex files. The rex player and the grid sequencer is f***ing amazing to me.

have you set the loop length at the top of the edit window?

Oh damn, I figured this problem out once and I have forgotten how to do it. Let me ave a go when i get home and see if I can remember. Maybe you should try doing this without converting the audio to a part? Theres deffinatly a sequence on how you should do this. Try calculating hit points in the audio editor and then b4 you slice it up with the divide audio events press the "Create Groove Quantize". That allows you to extract the groove of the hitpoints into your snap area. Very interesting results can come of this.

[The Divide]

yea

Has any1 tryed the time warped thingy in the audio editing?
After doind the divide audio events.. click on the icon warped... just go crazy with the timing.. this is a bit like live 3. This is like reverse thinking instead of moving the audio clips u move the time!?!?

I haven't tryed this but sound like u could make some wicked crazy shufling and wacky sample mangling...

ahhh but the other tracks keep they're timming ...!?


let us know yer xperiments
