Title: Re: [dnb-prod] Re: dnb vs hip hop rmxs
I haven't got it, but I find Acid can do wonders for this kind of thing if you fiddle with the bar length, pitch of your samples etc. Probably not as good as Melodyne on seamlessly processing vocals, but def easy enough for layering different beat loops quickly all to exactly the right bpm for exporting to my sampler before starting a tune. Much tighter, quicker and easier than using timestretch or trying to use the pitch on my sampler to match everything up.
I haven't ventured into vocals yet, so i only need creative processing on beats, not transparency, cos you can't mess with vocals, they have to sound right. Check DVillage software section for a PC version

You need to find out more about a thing called Melodyne - look for the software version at Digital Village website about �230 - can do all of that and a lot more....
This is from Sound on Sound Nov 2001

Celemony Melodyne is currently a stand-alone application for Mac (a PC version is coming), and its purpose in life is to analyse audio minutely and then process it such that almost everything about it can be altered at will. It can shift the pitch of monophonic audio without changing duration, change duration or tempo with or without changing pitch, and manipulate formants to alter voice or instrument character or to improve the character of shifted audio. It allows you to create harmonies from one vocal, or indeed construct whole new melodies, as well as making vocals and instruments do things they couldn't normally do. It can force audio of different tempos to run at one tempo, quantise audio timing, correct pitching errors across an entire track or one note at a time, superimpose pitch information from one melody onto another without affecting lyrics, alter amplitude, edit transitions between notes, and even alter vibrato. While it usually requires monophonic audio, it works on drum and percussion loops and will also process strummed guitar. Sounds impressive? It does to us...

Cheers

does anyone know how I can take a vocal sample (lets say rapping as it is in the spotlight at the moment) and slow it down or speed it up without making it sound like the smurfs!
 
 
I am using just software, and wanted to know how I can get a sample to fit over my drum-loop.
 
or should I have created the drum-loop to fit over the sample????
