My video shows you how to use the export dialogue to change sample rate of audio

Sorry, I don't see how it was possible to follow the suggested copy process in my previous post without generating an error. Copy/paste requires the clips in the clipboard to be the target project's sample rate.

Exporting the bun contents may be the easiest solution (it is the documented method too) either tracks or BWF.

 

here was my final process. There were 5 takes of the song beginning to end times 10 tracks. I made a composite of the best takes of each section, and exported at 44/16. (I saw no reason to change the 16 to 24.) 

Thanks everyone. I’ll post the first song in the song forum soon.

Assuming the clips all start at 00:00:00:00, you can just open the bundle, save it as a project, and drag the audio files from the audio folder into the target project.

David does that work? I thought of that and almost tried it but wasn’t sure it would work.  With all the cuts, punch ins,  and 5 takes x 10 tracks of drums (for 5 songs)  I was a bit timid and treading lightly. My question being, how do I know it will line up to the right track when dragging to the target project (kick in, kick out, hat, sn top, sn bot, oh L, Oh R, tom 1,2,3). It will just automatically find its place?

No need to export; copy and paste tracks.

Open the bun and the target project.

Select and copy the tracks from the bun project to the target project,

Make sure to have a good backup of the target project, just in case.

hi there. Tried this and said the project audio doesn't match the sample rate.

scook -simple but brilliant. Thanks.

No need to convert the files before importing into CbB.

During import, CbB converts the files as needed for the project.

All the clips in a project must be the same sample rate but bit depth may vary.

Sample rate conversion in CbB is pretty good.

The actual bit depth used for import is controlled by the Import Bit Depth setting in Preferences > File > Audio Data

The default Import Bit Depth is Original meaning the bit depth will not change during import. 

 

 

 

ok, great. Thank you. Question 2. If received as .bun files, is there a shorter way to get them to 44.1/24 than opening the .bun and exporting them as 44.1/24 raw .wav?

So yes, what is the best way to go about this? Do I need to import into Sound Forge and change them all. Its 5 songs and a lot of 9 channel drum takes.  Or, do I import just the drum files into a separate song file and render them all as 44.1/24. (or can I use them as is mixed with the other files 44.1/24?)  The drummer was in a new location, his ADAT had problems and he must have accident switched it. I was actually there for most of the takes but it was his computer/interface as I came late.  We are talking 100's of .wavs.
Thank you.

The manual is at http://amplesound.net/en/Main_Panel_Manual-AGM.pdf.

A good keyswitch summary is at http://amplesound.net/dl0822/ds/Keyswitches(Helmut)v1.6.zip. it needs a slight update but is still very useful. I have it available on my desk ALL the time.

But I found it best to study the MIDI demos at http://amplesound.net/en/download.asp.

Please note that the free Lite versions have quite a few limitations. They are only meant for you to get a feel for the sounds (which are great) and GUI (which also is good). As a big user (and fanboy) and picky guitar player (nyuk, nyuk, nyuk ?) , I can tell you I have been able to do everything I've needed to with Ample Sound instruments. I highly recommend them.

 

hello and thanks. Anyway you could post some samples of what you have done with the instrument other than picking? I have used it to strengthen a guitar performance by a client but would like to hear what others have done.

nice. Very nice feeling. I understand the sentiments about the kick but I much prefer this undefined sound to an over articulated one, especially with a choir. More orchestral feeling this way.
I feel it needs an instrument to drive it. Could be an acoustic guitar or a chugging muted electric. The piano is well placed and I love sparse, but maybe nice if it had something to fall back on. Also some type of inner rhythm or different things to come in and out of the sonic spectrum. Could be perc. Could be a comp type keyboard or rhodes. I could picture putting it through an imager to make it a wee bit wider. But hey, its so nice with the young singers and overall feel. Kudos.

I really love this piece...I am not a fan of electronic drums, so tired of that sound (who am I kidding I hated them the 1st time I heard a 808), but these electronic drums feel great.  Great programing and mix. This is inspiring to me in that I feel maybe i could find a way to use them in my own work now.

Great mix, Great Job,

I love the images.  Especially how everything seems so still, yet the snow is motion all around.

 

I'm with you Jimbo 88. I actually have a drum session next Tuesday and considering replacing them, but lots of other material to do so it may not happen. The thing I've never liked is using VST/module drums (even high end ones) in place of acoustic drums. You know, with fills and the whole bit. But this song actually started out as a loop because I liked the loop so much. So it just makes it. Nice hearing from you.

We all paint very different pictures..
I hear what Wookie hears regarding bass,
I'm listening on Focal Trios with no sub...  when I add the sub I can really hear it.,, maybe a little too much?

ok, you think so? Is that the overall bass or just the sub sonic hits? Much appreciated. I have a tendency to overdo on warm tones.

What's not to like about this??? Sweet piano chords, nice unique pattern in the arrangement. You live in a beautiful area! Bonus!

Maybe when the drum kit comes on, it might have a bit more reverb on, to match up with the chill piano? Just a thought, might be worth the experiment.

It's the composition that sells it, very nice composing!

cheers,

-Tom

yes, I can see that. Thanks. It is a loop so no option for reverb as it will go on the kick and everything. Actually, the whole song got started because I like the loop. If I am to release it with real drums I will do what you said.

One of those videos where the music perfectly matches what you're seeing. Great work!

Had to look up "sakura."  Cherry blossoms, which show up at the end.

actually, maybe you noticed, but its different angles of the same trees, different seasons. Thanks for the listen.

I do love a a bit of cool Electric Piano, that kick sure punches through.  The whole vibe of this is very very very cool @Michael Fogarty.

One little observation I noticed on my Events there is s little bit of bass hang/bloom on some of the sparse passages, probably inaudible on many systems..

hello Wookiee. Bass hang/bloom. I need an explanation for that if you don’t mind. I do mix with multiple sets of speakers and a sub. Is it possible the “hang/bloom” is intentional or is it annoying? Is it an occasional hit, or an overall feeling of too many bass frequencies? I have definitely been guilty of that. There are different layers of booms and basses, (some arpeggiated, some subsonic)  aimed at people with big systems. But I miss things. The kick is from an MODX7 (chill kit). It is actually a preset loop.

Lovely sounds and images.  Was that you at the end  looking at the trees?

ah yes, David. That is me.

Hi Michael....great song, vocal, playing, arrangement....totally enjoyed the harmonica....reminded me of a song Elvis might have done with some great Nashville musicians ????

yes, it does sound like Elvis. Al has that smooth rich, almost lazy sounding tone, and the song at first was so melancholy I wasn't sure I would want to get involved. As for the rhythm, we are all country boys.

nice scratching record.what is harmonica vst .good sounds.jack c.

hey Jack. The scratches are samples that I synced with the turntable video. The harmonica of course is real, not a VST.

 a song written by my friend Al Pratt. He sent me a guitar/vocal and asked my help with the arrangement/production/chords. Threw some pictures together to accompany the music.

that was really good. Very warm audio wise -voice, instrumentation. Best of luck. 

second song I have heard from you. Like them both, but this is more my bag, not that that matters. What matters is this is nice. Especially like the piano.

friendly song, upbeat, wholesome, and fun. Great arrangement.

great graphics and the way you put things together. The sounds don't sound like Omnisphere. What are you using?

the person you wrote this for must be happy. 

hey, look at all these famous chaps. Thanks for including the credits and Cakewalk names. Nice to know who played what. Is this an online collab? Who pieced it together and mixed?

very nice you can say, "like father like son." He has a  nice voice and feel. Mixing is good as well. Did you do the video a well?
